Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ever break a toe?

Broke one yesterday. Hurt like blazes. Would not believe it was broken at first, so I walked and climbed ladders all day working thinkin I would just tough it out. Last night came in and took off boot to find multi colored foot and crooked second toe. Gently pulled it straight and taped it to one next to it. Spent night with it propped up high and today was on light duty. Never a good time to break a toe. Hurts like heck every time.

Broke my little toe on my left foot in 07

90� strait out from my foot had to have it set at the ER

Hurt? Yes

Ha! That's the look I'm sportin too. I got a touch more blue with mine.

I've broken several over the years and they all hurt enough that I never wanted a do-over.

Yep. Broke my big toe about 45 seconds in to a 3 round bout. Theres a treat for you. Pain isn't bad but sure screws with your balance.

I've broke both of my big toes at different times as well as broke and reset my nose a couple of times after being young and dumb.

I'll take 10 broken noses to a broken toe any day. I don't have to walk on my nose...... $0.02

Extremely! Especially if you try to curl your toes back under your foot.

I've done it twice. Once was on one of those $%#-%^#%$@ wheels on a bed frame. The other time was in high school. Some field hockey sticks had appeared from somewhere and our coach split us into two teams and armed us. The ball came out of the madding crowd. I had been hanging around the fringe of the mayhem, hoping to at some point in the future father a child, and it came directly toward me. I took off, shoving it along it front of me. Another player (could have been a teammate for all we knew about the game) couldn't catch me, so he just swung his club down in front of me, hitting me in the big toe.

I've broken every last one of mine. The first time I was 6 and helping my dad take apart a brick fireplace on our porch. I was loading the bricks on my little wagon and dropped one right on my big toe. Snapped it clean in two. It hurt. I cried.

Over the next 20 years, I managed to break, dislocate, and otherwise mangle the rest of them. Motorcycles, both dirt and street, claimed a few. Horses and cows claimed a few more.

A friend of mine broke my left little toe by throwing a paddle into johnboat I was standing in. The bad thing about that one was that I had broken my right little toe the day before while wading in a river. I was not happy.

First time was when I was a freshman in high school. Set the St Louis County half mile record four days later. It hurt when I broke but it really hurt after the race.

Dang! That's tough now! And just imagine how fast you would have been without a broken toe

I have broken a couple but pulling the nail off of one hurts like Hell too. miles

I broke my big toe in 2003!!!!!! It still hurts sometimes. It is also my Built in weather predictor, When my Toe starts Hurting expect cold and rainy weather.

I slipped on some steps about a month ago and tweaked my left pinkie toe. Not sure I broke it, but I was able to bend it sideways at the second joint. I taped it to the second toe and it seemed to be getting better, so I untaped it and promptly kicked one of my work boots, re-injuring it and here I sit with it still taped up and tender.

I broke the same toe when I was 17 and going on vacation. It was miserable for a few days until the swelling went down and I could get a shoe on. The colors were spectacular.

Broke my left toe in Iraq when a tow bar from a broke down HMMWV was dropped on it. Toenail is still messed up!

My son did me in trying to get on a tube in the lazy river at Seaworld San Antonio. tube flipped over......I flipped over......son flipped over.....I saw my glasses drifting away. My toe was the last thing I had on my mind.....LOL.

hurts like hell. unreal how much it can hurt. radiates half way up my calf and throbs.

Yep

Yep. Working on an old heavy side by side barefooted once. Dropped it butt plate first on my big toe. Shattered that toe. Swelled up like a plumb.

Broke my right big toe a couple of years ago. Dog had cornered a big possum and I went on to the fray to get the dog and the possum came after me. I kicked at the possum and hit a big rock instead. Serious pain. Picked up another rock and smashed the possums head. End of toe was split open and bleeding. Had to go to ER.
