The bird built a nest out of small twigs. If you look closely, you can see a nest in that tree. They lived in a cozy little nest in the suburbs.
Symptoms of a broken toe include: pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty walking. 1. Prevent Swelling and Further Injury. Stay off the foot as much as possible. Avoid movement or pressure that causes pain. Apply ice up to 20 minutes at a time. Wrap it in a towel; do not apply directly to skin. Keep the foot elevated as often as possible, especially the first 2 days after injury, to help control pain and swelling. For pain, take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin).
1 Following surgery, and especially with the help of a cast, severely broken toes take 6-8 weeks to heal, depending on the location and extent of the injury. 2  After such a long time in a cast, your foot may need some rehabilitation as described below.. Wear a splint. After a reduction of your broken toe, a splint is often put in place to support and protect the toe while it heals properly. Alternatively, you may have to wear a supportive compression boot, but either way, you'll likely need the use of crutches over the short term (2 weeks or so).
