Thank you so much for all the important information. I broke the toe next to my baby toe. It is red and a bit swollen and it is a bit crooked but I was able to wear a shoe. Urgent Care couldn't fit me in so I came home. I really don't know what to do next. I have heard so many different things. I thought maybe getting something to keep them together. My primary wants me to get an X-ray and I did try yesterday with no luck. If I go to the emergency room I might have to wait hours. I can't believe this. I broke my foot about 2 months ago and now a toe! I'll give it a couple of more days and see what is what. It really doesn't hurt much at all and I'm being so very careful. Again, thank you again for all the information I appreciate it very much. You have given me some info that I didn't get. Happy New Year with more peace and love. Nancy : )
