Can you tell if a bones got a hairline fracture without going to the hospital?

It's a toe so it's not really worth it to get it officially checked out there's really nothing they could do and itd cost too much to get an xray for that.

I've broken many a toe. Tape it to it's neighbor and save your money.

In short.. No.. A hairline fracture has not moved and it takes an X ray to see it, if then.

@ForeverGrowingOld Yes. A long while. Weeks at least if it is fractured and protect it. or you might worsen the break if it is one.

@whowasthatmaskedman that might be difficult. My feet take a lot of abuse.

@ForeverGrowingOld I am not your Doctor. But you might want to consult one about a replacement foot. Or protect the one you have.. Its up to you. 😉

There is no way to tell without an xray. If you go in, they wont do anything but give you a shoe.
Been there. Ouch!
