But seriously, refuah shelama.

Btw, apparently it is in the past that a broken toe just needs to heal. I once stubbed my toe very badly. It was black and blue and very painful for weeks. My parents told me, even if it's broken, nothing to do but wait it out. In the end, a few weeks after, as it was starting to get better already, I had to go to the podiatrist for something else. He took an x-ray in the office and told me that it was not broken but nowadays something can be done for a broken toe and I should come in if it ever happens again.

Refuah shelama. I just read in praying with fire that if you say that to someone sincerely it's a prayer for the person to feel better.

you poor thing!
we keep a tube of Traumel homeopathic cream remedy that works wonders on bruises, aches, and pains. It contains arnica. I don't suppose you have anything of the kind in the house that you could put on it?

I'm sorry, I didn't realize how much pain you were really in Sad

If it were me, I'd probably see a doctor if it was still very bruised and if I couldn't move it. Feel good soon!

I slammed my finger between 2 windows on sukkos. I didn't go to the doctor because I knew they couldn't do anything for it anyway. It was just the nail area. It hurt for about a week. It's still black. Refua Shelama, I know how you feel. I hurt my toe 6 months ago also.
Is it swollen?

Motrin will work. Also, tape the two nearest toes together for added support, and wear crocs!

Oh really? I arrived to the hospital to give birth with my husband’s crocs, and then they had to be suctioned off!
