The big toe (hallux) is often considered the most painful toe to break. This is because it bears the most weight and plays a crucial role in balance and walking. A fracture of the big toe can cause more intense pain, swelling, and bruising compared to other toes. Additionally, individuals with a big toe fracture may experience difficulty walking.
While other toes can also be painful to break, the big toe's structural importance and weight-bearing function make it a particularly painful experience.
