Try alternating hot and cold water soaks. Works better than hot soaks alone and speeds up healing. If hot water is causing swelling, you can use alternating cold and warm soaks or cold and room temp alternations. Put ice onto one bucket and hot water in another and alternate foot. Just don't get it hot enough to burn the skin though, pay attention. You don't need to actually freeze it either ;-)). Do it several times a day.
(Experimental) Fill a container with CS. Put the whole toe or foot in it. Connect a silver electrode to the POSITIVE output of the zapper and put the electrode in the container of CS (in the water). Hold the negative electrode in one hand or put it on the leg somewhere above the injured part. Zapp the CS into the toe in this fashion.

I'm looking for ideas to help my husband with what we are pretty sure is a broken toe. No point going to the ER with it - they'll give him a boot and send him home. I want to make him more comfortable, and try to get the swelling down (he hit his toe over 24 hours ago, so we're doing heat to promote healing). I've also had him pulsing with Bil's MP5K, and using footbaths with Epsom Salts and Apple Cider Vinegar and DMSO. Does anybody else out there have any ideas? We'll try it all....
