{"title":"Broken toe","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery day, your feet are subjected to enormous strain - roughly as if you carried the weight of several cars for an entire day! For a person weighing 70 kilos and taking around 10,000 steps a day, this means that the feet handle a combined weight of more than 700 tons every day. It's no wonder that your feet sometimes feel sore. We offer insoles and other foot-related products that provide enhanced comfort and relief.\u003cbr\u003eFeet are incredibly complex and fascinating parts of the body. They contain almost a quarter of the body's total number of bones - 26 bones in each foot! In addition, there are 30 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments, all working together to provide you with balance, stability, and mobility every time you walk or stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"max-width: 900px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 25px;\"\u003eWhat is a broken toe?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA broken toe means that one or more of the bones in the toe have cracked or broken, usually after a blow, fall, or dropping something heavy on your foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn many cases, the injury is less serious and can heal on its own, but it can still be painful and affect your everyday life for a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon symptoms of a broken toe\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe symptoms may vary depending on how serious the injury is, but there are a few clear signs to watch out for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"padding-left: 0; margin: 10px 0; list-style-position: inside; text-align: left; display: inline-block;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003ePain in the toe, especially when bearing weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eSwelling and tenderness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eBruising or redness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eDifficulty walking or putting weight on the foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003eIn some cases, the toe may look crooked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pain may persist for several weeks, while the swelling sometimes lasts longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to tell if your toe is broken or sprained\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not always easy to determine whether the toe is broken or merely sprained, as the symptoms can be similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sprain means that soft tissue has been injured, while a fracture affects the bone itself.
