I have also heard that about broken toes - that there is not much they can do. So sorry to hear this happened to you!!
I've done this before - twice - and it's surprising how painful it is. But I think you're right about taping the toe to the next toe. Hope it all heals soon!
I'm so sorry, rotten timing. How much are you limping?
Hope you mend soon Harmony. The taping idea sounds right.

Hi Harmony - I just noticed your post, and oddly, I broke my toe the same day you did! And I have never broken anything before. I followed the internet instruction for taping the toe to the next one. It's still a bit tender, but looks better and seems to have healed up.
Hope your toe is healing too!
:)
The tape is the only way to go when it comes to the little toe. It will heal fast. The last time I did that (silly me broke the same little toe 3 times in one year) I was going thru a rough time with the planter fasciitis. Each step with that foot was an 'ouch-ouch' instead of just 'ouch' for a few days.

Mine was the one next to thte pinky toe. The site said to tape the broken one to pinky toe. I actually used large band-aids so I could get a little more cushioning. I've rubbed some arnice into it (gently) a few times too. It feels much better, but not ready for yoga yet - maybe next week!
