Hi there - as I now have trouble with falls, I'm sitting here with 2 broken toes and the tendons holding the 2 toes were ripped. It's the last two toes. Anyways - I waited a week before going to a dr, then podiatrist. He confirmed this: if their is swelling and bruising, with maybe a slight fever about 24 hours later, and it doesn't reduce after a few days, see a doctor.

Mine taped my toes (not much they can do) but also put me in a air cast for 6 weeks. If there is more than a simple break they may need to do more. I'm counting on healing well and not needing surgery. Which is the outcome if the tendons can't heal. Good luck and use your judgement, I was amazed at help the air cast provided. Also scared to know surgery may be needed, too.
