Depends - I broke my finger and had it in a kind of split for a week or so but broke my big toe very badly and was in plaster for 6 weeks ! Do you know its broken or guessing? Just re-read - you're guessing - you ought to get it x-rayed - sorry !

Think you should get it checked out, firstly to see if it is broken, and also just to check the circulation is still ok in it, as you say it has gone numb.
I have had a couple, and just had to tape it to the one next to it, took about 6 weeks to feel normal again.

Good luck.

You are probably on your way by now, but if it is broken then you need to keep it elevated so you do need a professional opinion

They wouldn't do anything when I broke my big toe. Two years later I am unable to bend it.

Broken big toe..........worst case scenario...........

Loss of balance.....inability to walk.....lots of physio and hospital visits......

Get it checked and dealt with, tis the most important toe, followed closely by your little one!!
