hey everyone, just a couple quick questions. i broke my middle toe the other night when i stubbed it on my bike trainer in the dark. i am under the impression that you really cant do anything for a broken toe, you just have to roll with it and it will heal. its pretty black and blue, the swelling has gone down, and its not really that painful unless i hit it on something. i did run after the accident, and it didnt bother me whatsoever. i just want to make sure i cant injure it any worse by running on it. anyone with toe stubbing experience please chime in. thanks everyone

I am by no means a Dr. but this has happened to me on 3 separate occasions, none of them were my big toe.

Each time I was given blue 'cushy' stuff to protect it in my shoes, cut to fit, wrap around my pinkie toe. That didn't really help make my shoes fit, so my PA and then trainer (played soccer at the time), just had me tape the toes together.

So, if it happened to me now, I would do the same and run if I could. If I couldn't run, I would bike or swim or walk. I don't know if you can make it worse, but if its painful I wouldn't do it.

 Also, be sure you didn't break a bone in your foot and that its just the toe.

I just have to say THANK YOU! I am not the ONLY person who manages to break a toe on the bike trainer! You'll be OK...

I broke the 2nd to last one and just taped the middle and that one together for a couple weeks. I think it's a bit deformed now, but hey, it's all good!

I  didn't hit the trainer, I walked into a door for 2 of the 3. The same door, a couple years apart. Stupid f*ing door.

Both of my pinkie toes look strange now.

Probably not.  You can buddy tape your toes together.   If you are not having any pain I would not be worried
