10 Broken Toe Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Tenderness to the Touch
A broken toe will leave you with an extremely sensitive toe that is also tender to the touch. Even the slightest touch will cause severe pain to shoot through the toe and foot. Applying ice to the toe and keeping it elevated by putting it on a pillow or something similar will help keep it away from any unnecessary stimuli until you get to a doctor.
Your doctor will normally prescribe medicine for the pain and inflammation as well as treat the toe after determining how serious the fracture actually is. It is possible to repair a broken toe without any lasting effects on its appearance or performance.
