I've had several broken toes. With the first one, I went to the ER. What a waste of money. All they did was tape the broken one to the next one as a sort of splint. After that, I just taped two together myself. It works.
It is called buddy tapeing.

Good to know. That is what Hubby wants me to do....tape the two together.
I have been to the Emergency Room by ambulance far more times than I ever have by my own choice.
I strongly believe that whatever doesn't kill me, will only make me stronger :-)
Morgan's 1260 lb. cow stepped on my toes after the fair a few years ago (not on purpose). I felt and heard them break . . . they swelled terribly and turned all sorts of funny colors, but I didn't think the dr. would do anything (besides take x-rays and come to the profound conclusion they were broken and charge me for it!) so just taped them together too. And took lots of pain meds and didn't walk much for a few weeks. But all in all they healed well. Didn't even lose the toenails. I was just glad Smiles didn't step on Morgan's foot!
