Surgery and Hospitalization

Its hard to be 100% sure by just looking at it sometimes. If you had an injury or direct trauma to the area and there is swelling, pain, difficulty weight bearing, these MIGHT indicate a fracture. You don't always see a deformity.

If your toe is twisted or out of normal alignment, don't delay care. Get an X-ray and doctor's care to prevent a permanent deformity.

However, doctors do nothing special for an ordinary fracture of a toe. They simply tape it to the next toe. The tape should NEVER be tight. Swelling should NEVER appear at the end of the toes -- if so, the tape is too tight and should be removed promptly. After icing the area, and all swelling going down, it can be re-taped.

Rest, ice and elevation are the 3 measures used for toes. Rest means stay off it as much as possible. Elevation means put it on a pillow when sitting and laying. Ice means 10-15 minutes of an ice pack, then remove; reapply every 4-6 hours for 15 minutes. Always put a towel or cloth between the ice and the skin. Ice can freeze skin, so check the skin every 5 minutes when ice is on, and move the ice to a new position.

A broken toe usually starts to feel better within 1 week if you do rest, ice, and elevation. It can take 2 weeks for swelling and bruising to go away. Pain can persist in the toe's joint for months, or off and on for years.

Prevention: Wear closed-toe shoes even in the house, no flip-flops and no bare feet.

Well, I had a skin graft about a year ago because of a receding gum on one of my bottom teeth. It didn't really hurt during the procedure but about 20 minutes after leaving the Periodontist's Office it hurt a fair amount. On a scale of 1-10 it was around a 4 or 5. My Mom had me take the next day of school off but I didn't REALLY need to. After about a week or two of popsicles, jello and other soft foods I was fine.

Good luck! :)

Yes, if they really need them. Lots of surgeons will try to avoid having to use the restroom by limiting fluid intake, but nobody’s going to deny them a bathroom break if they need to go. They simply "break scrub," do their business, and scrub back in.

To make them more manageable, some intense surgeries have different teams to handle different aspects. With this strategy, a day-long surgery can translate into only a few hours for any individual surgeon.

I messed up my hand pretty bad with a table saw. I sliced part my index finger and also broke a bone (the bone at the end of my finger) I had a pin in for 4 weeks and had it removed yesterday. The actual removal of the pin didn't hurt too bad and the pin came out easy.

On a scale of 1-10, it was about a 3.

I still can't bend my finger very much though.

Also, the doctor said he removed a pin from a lady and the pin was very difficult to get out. I imagine hers hurt a lot more than mine.
