Location: Phoenix | Being the klutz that I am, I broke my pinky toe. I was just curious if any of you have broken any toes and if it has affected your walking in anyway after being healed? Or if there is any residual pain? |

Location: White Mountains of AZ | I've often thought I've broken toes and let whatever I ran into know it, but never actually happened...so I am of no help. I'm sorry though!!! Feel better! Maybe some mixed drinks :) |

| I have broke 6 out of ten. Never have had a problem walking after. Now nerve damage from horses falling on me that's a different story LOL. |

Location: Phoenix | The mixed drinks are what caused it! LOL! I don't plan on "taking it easy" a whole lot because I walk a lot at work and my foot still fits in my boots. ;). It's just so stupid!!! |

Location: Oklahoma | I cracked my right big toe back in 2008... Probably the most painful thing that's ever happened to me! I had to walk on the right side of my foot for a little while, but it wasn't long before I was walking back to normal. About a year later I started having arch problems when I wear certain shoes... But it's only on that one foot so I've always wondered if they were related.A year ago I dislocated my pinky toe. I say dislocated because I never had x rays done but a few months later I felt a major pop. It took me a few months to get all the feeling back, but I'm back at 100%. I just can't pop it! I had to hobble around a few days for that one as well, but keep in mind that I'm a big baby and have no pain tolerance!Just be sure to keep the swelling down and don't try to over exert yourself. |

Location: Phoenix | Luckily I can keep my weight off of it pretty well and I just walk a certain way and shuffle a little bit but I can't imagine breaking my big toe-- that sounds so painful!!! |

| Ouch! So sorry. :(
I broke my pinky toe when I was a kid. It got better, but took a long time. The pain was pretty bad.
It healed completely and have no pain now (it's been at least 10-15 years since it happened). |

Location: SE Louisiana | I was pushing a cow from the holding pen into the milk parlor one day. She was just starting through the door when a cat nailed a huge rat right in front of her.... and the fight was ON!!! She kicked herself into reverse and stepped on my foot with the leg she pivoted on to swap ends. That little toe is the only thing I've ever had broken. I walk fine now tho. |

Location: Phoenix | Lol perhaps!! Or maybe Hammer Head because who breaks their toe by running into a wall?! It hurt pretty bad when I did it, but I've been putting my cowboy boots on and getting around. As long as I'm walking on even ground, I'm fine and I don't feel anything. I just worry that my toe will heal (I almost wrote "grow back" LOL) will heal crooked or something. I'm sure I'll be fine. |

Location: Minnesota | I broke 4 of my 5 toes on my right foot a couple years ago. I don't have any pain from it but my big toes won't bend all the way like my other ones will. Broken toes are no fun. Feel better soon! |

Yeah I turned and whacked mine on a corner of the wall....the corner went between my pinky and 4th toe. Instant swelling and my toe was sticking out the wrong way lol......now the air gent Care I went to says I fractured it and advised me to go to a podiatrist......LAME. It doesn't hurt really as long as I don't jar it. |
