How do I tell if my toe is broken or sprained. Should i go to the doctor?
I landed on my toe at cheerleading and I'm not sure if i broke it or just sprained it. My mom says i should not have to go to the doctor even if it is broken. How do I tell if it is broken or sprained? Should I go to the doctor?
It's not black or blue or anything but there is this knot on the side, and it hurts to walk but I can bend it .

if its black and blue its broken. It does not really matter all you can do is ice and try to stay off your feet till its better. no need to go to a doctor they can’t do any thing for your toe.

The only way you can be sure is to get an x-ray. They can do that at the doctor’s office. If it doesn’t hurt like crazy it is probably just sprained, or perhaps just bruised.

It may be broken, but they can’t do anything for a broken toe. Rice it.
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

if it’s swelling, it’s probably broken. but if it’s just one toe, it’ll heal on it’s own. try to keep from walking or leaning on it too heavily. there’s no need to go to a doctor. your toes are stiff and will brace themselves through their connections to the other toes, so there’s no need for a cast. just rest and you’ll be walking, jumping and flipping like normal again in no time.
