X-ray will help with knowing what’s going on, but the only solution is to keep the weight off it.

yeah this is why I havent done xray, seems pointless. just resting as much as I can.

hmmm, makes sense to rest and wait for it to heal but I guess at some point if it’s not 100% it would make sense to see if there’s a small fracture.

it's been a month and I still can't put full pressure on it. can't put a shoe on without pain. and hurts to lift it up or if I accidentally bump it sometimes or in general just touch around the toe joint. I still can't believe I got this injury pole dancing lmao

hmmm… maybe it just needs some more time but I don’t know….

Feet can take a long time to heal, a specialized boot could help remove pressure from the area, but generally speaking the pinky toe side of your foot will just take a long time to heal. It’s very far from your heart. So blood that gets there is limited in its restorative powers.

hmmm this makes sense. maybe I should do some PRP injections 🤔 didn't even think of that til this comment. thanks !

I think it would be interesting to know tho

Most likely your suspicion is correct, it’s broken in some way. And basically you’re gonna limp around and treat it gingerly for a long while. As long as it’s not getting infected you’re solid tho, don’t really need it too much .
