I think I broke my toe

[Eden]

Does buddy taping work on toes? (taping your toe to the next one - its done often with broken fingers).

Really for fingers and toes it seems like there's not much that can be done, unless you opt for surgery. I think I broke my thumb a year or so back and didn't realize it (I thought it was just a bad sprain, by the time I decided it may be worse it was surely too late). It healed on its own, though I now have a big bump near the joint.... BUT I do wonder if I'm not better off. Someone that I know broke her thumb in, I think, the same place and was casted for it. My naturally healed thumb works fine and feels fine (no pain or stiffness), if looks a bit funky, while hers no longer bends at all....

I'm happily buddy taping and my toe seems to like it. The only time the toe really hurts is if I accidentally bend it. So taping it securely to its helper-friend-next-door-neighbor toe seems to be doing the trick. I really hope the natural healing plan works. My toe is not bent in any strange angles, which is probably a good sign.

So cosc...I think I'll heed your advice and walk as little as possible this upcoming week! I hope your toe starts healing a little faster. I REALLY want to ride this Century coming up next Saturday so I've got my fingers crossed that it doesn't get any worse!!!
