I was picking up a plastic grocery bag with large cans in it, and the bottom of the bag broke. All of the cans landed on my toes. Boy, did I see stars, it really hurt. Now, my toe next to the pinky toe is swollen, I hope it is not broken. I soaked it in warm water, but it still hurts. Have you ever had something heavy fall on your feet?

Oh my... that seems really painful. I've never had anything fall on my toes but I have hit it plenty times - by the door, against the table leg, etc... I'm not sure but aren't you supposed to be putting ice on it (first 24 hours) then warm compress after that? Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Someone else mentioned that I should use cold water. I did and the next day it felt better. I was just now trying to do some exercises and felt a little tingle in my toe, but I think it is coming along. I hope you enjoyed your meal, don't worry about it, I think everything will be okay

Yes I have and it really hurts. If your toe is swollen you need to put cold not heat on it. Can you wiggle it? If so it's just bruised not broken. But the only way to tell for sure it to get an xray. Think you can sue the bag company and the grocery store? If anything I'd write the store a letter, you might get some coupons or such. That might make you feel better.

Thank you for the suggestions and tips, when I wiggle it it hurts and there is a little swelling.

Not to worry sounds like just a bruise. Poor toe

I have had that happen to me more than once actually. The last time it happened I ended up with a bruised toe that hurt really bad for weeks. I could not even wear a shoe for a few days my toe was so sore.

i once ran the grocery cart over my toes. all i wanted to do was to keep cussing it out..LOL. i didn't touch my foot, i didn't do anything about no warm / cold soaks... i just rested and it became a little better the next day.
