No, the toe is not likely broken, but it is stiff likely because there has been trauma to the foot and muscles, leading to the toe. did you go to the doctor and have it looked at? You may possibly need a tetanus shot so you don't develop Lockjaw, a very serious complication of rusty nail injuries.A nail went through the ball of my foot,and my big toe is stiff do u think its broken?
Hey, who gave me a thumbs down. That was an excellent answer. Must have been someone who didn't know what to do!

could be tetnus, especially if it was rusty, i'd go get a tetnus shot.
have you had a tetanus shot lately? if you havent had one in the past 5 years you need to get one because you could get some very bad or deadly infections... you could have possibly broken your toe. I would go get that checked out immediatly

but you foot may be fractured
You need to go to the doctor NOW! There's a lot more involved with a nail going into your foot than broken bones. Since there's no such thing as a clean nail, you need to be treated with antibiotics so you don't get a nasty infection. Have you had a tetanus shot in the last 10 years? If not, you definitely need one now. Get off the computer and go see your doc!
no its not broken. If it was, then it would be a bit disconfigurated if you moved it. And a nail would not go through your bones that easily. Probably either missed a bone, or stopped after it hit a bone.
Doubt the bone's broken. However, I agree with the others, you need to see a doctor. You may need a tetanus shot, if it's been longer than 10 years since your last one. Also, antibiotics may be necessary as well. Good luck
See a doctor or a nurse practitioner.





When was your last tetanus shot?
