Is my toe/foot broken?

So I went fishing and was walking in the creek in flipflops when my foot kind of slipped weird. It felt like my toes twisted and hurt kind of bad. I usually never bruise and it hurts to walk on still 3 days later so I think I might have done something bad to it.

My sister, who is a nurse, thinks the end of the foot might be broken because of how wide the bruise is spread.

Any ideas? I really don't want to have to go to the doctor if I don't need to
 
Forgot photo, oops.

I would listen to your sister rather than NS for help. Sweaty 13 year olds aren't too good at diagnosing problems
 
nah dude you're fine you should probably run a few miles just to make sure though.

go get an x ray. your foot looks like shit.
 
Dude are you some kind of pussy? They can't do anything for a broken toe, it's just gotta heal on it's own.
 
yeah but if the end of my foot is broken too, I have to get a boot for it. That was my question, was whether the foot was broken too.

is your sister also a doctor with x-ray vision?

I think you get my drift. Nobody is gonna do anything other than give you an opinion, not an answer. I personally would go to a minute clinic and let them x-ray it.
 
I actually did the same thing 2 days ago. Hard to walk. I guess it is broken. However, I am not going to the hospital because I know it is the toe (one of the smaller ones.) I have a big blue spot all around it. Tape the toe to its "friend" the unbroken one with some padding in between. Keep it like that for 3 weeks. And voilà, exactly what they would do at the hospital. The X-Ray is just to "make sure" it is broken...

However, if you feel something else then the toe might be wrong, the X-Ray might be helpful.
 
Go see a doctor anyways your toe is probably broken, the bruising in the rest of your foot could just be bruising but GO TO A DOCTOR and get an x ray.
 
Listen to the guys who say leave it for a week. Because then if it is broken, it might heal wrong and you will have to get a full compound fracture on it to heal it right.

/true story
 
They don't do much for your toe. Move it around until it feels lined up pretty well then just tape it.

Unless it's bent at a super fucked up angle and you can't get it back even with pliers, then maybe go see a doc
 
Go to the doctor and get an xray. I don't see how this is that hard of a decision maker. Like said above, nobody here is gonna know for sure unless they have xray vision
