I'm not a doctor either, but I would think that in addition to the above-listed traumas, unless your toe has turned a funny colour and/or is sticking out in a bizarre direction, you just ice it, rest/elevate, take Tylenol/Advil and maybe tape it to its neighbour (buddy taping) and it should fix itself in a couple of weeks or so. What possible kind of surgery could a baby toe require that you could elect to have now or several months later when it has likely healed itself?
Yep. A few years ago I stubbed my toe quite badly - half my foot was bruised, the toe itself was disturbingly swollen and even more bruised - but when I called Telehealth Ontario, they advised that while it was probably at least fractured, if it wasn't sticking out at a weird angle, there was probably no point in going to a doctor. I can't imagine what kind of damage Ford could have that would require surgery, whether next week or three months from now.
