that's not wise, and it will hurt worse if you go this route. Drink a few shots of Jameson and reset the fricker.

Yeah, if you wait until tomorrow, it will be like rebreaking it. Reset it now, then report back on how it's feeling. Hopefully you don't pass out from the pain.

Yeah, it hurts like a mother. The good news is, whoever said 4-6 weeks is overestimating. 2 weeks max. The bad news is, this won't be the last time that toe breaks. I broke the shite out of my left pinky toe when I was 24 or 25 and have broken or sprained it at least once a year since then, if not more often. It now permanently sticks out a little from the rest of my foot.

Did this the other day. Pull it back into place and just be drunk for the next few weeks. Nothing you can do. Wear flip flops any chance you get because shoes are going to squeeze it and make it hurt like hell with each step

So that's three votes for removing the toe, so far.

Pull it out away from the root of the toe. This will allow the bone to set back into position. DO NOT just pull it sideways!!! I've broken my pinkie toes several times. It fricking sucks, but you'll be ok. I suggest whiskey as well. Maybe a little Jäger. But whoever said do it now was correct. It's healing already. The longer you wait the worse it'll hurt.

So just pull out, and thats it? Sorta like having someone pull out a toe to crack it for you?

I started breaking my pinkie toe when I was maybe 10. So much pain but I'll be damned if it doesn't get broken on doors and walls every few years.

I broke the toe next to the big toe once and didn't reset it. I just 'buddy wrapped' to the next toe down.

To this day, it makes a "J" shape and if I try and straighten it by hand, it hurts like a mofo.

Reset it and buddy wrap it to the next up toe. All you can do.

when I was in college I fractured and dislocated my 2nd toe playing soccer. I went to the health center and he yanked it real hard, buddy taped it to my 3rd toe, and told me to stay off it. That was about it...so I guess there's not too much to do to it.

I'd try this when doing the reset.
