broken toe?

broken toe?

hi. yesterday i got super mad at my gf and i kicked the concrete wall in my school (roundhouse kick),,,i had very little swolling on my big toe.. but it still hurts very bad when i try to bend it or when i try to press on it at the joint of the big toe.
1. is it broken?
2. What should i do to treat it? or relieve the pain?
3. how long will it take so i can start walking with no pain?
4. if it broke..will it ever feel as it never broke? if so how long? (i train martial arts and my foot is important for me,, i know im stupid lol)

Hello!

1) It is difficult to comment without examining and an X-ray will be useful.

2) For relieving pain and inflammation you have to apply ice, strap the toe and also take some anti inflammatory drugs.

3) The pain has to decrease in a couple of days with rest and you not putting any weight on that toe or else you have to go to an orthopedician and based on the diagnosis the time frame can be successfully predicted.

4) At your age there is nothing to worry as fractures heal easily but remember never to repeat this and if it has a fracture go for an orthopedician and follow up.

Take care!
