I think I just broke my toe.

Post by Ack »

I stubbed it on a set of weights. It's bleeding a little but at first I wasn't too concerned. Then it started to swell, and the pain's gotten really sharp. I think I'm gonna start cursing now, so I'll wrap this up before I start typing it out.

If it's swelling then it's likely that you did break it. Especially if trying to move it causes intense pain.

You should probably tape it its neighbor. Hopefully you have surgical tape somewhere.

Or maybe see a doctor rather than telling us. Or maybe kick the same toe on the other foot to even things up. That way your feet will match again. :)

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad.

I did that once. I hit it at full-speed in mid-stride. Hurt bad, really bad. And of course it was the pinky. :cry:
I have never left weights on the floor since. :lol:

Yeah that's exactly what I did. I didn't swell too much and most of the pain's gone away so I think I just sprained it. It should be fine. I do think I'll move those weights, though...

That's the only injury I've ever had. I broke my littlest toe at some point, and the joint fuzed together and now it cant bend anymore.

There's not a lot than can be done for a broken toe, anyway. That's why it sucks so much.

Yeah, the toes have such a limited range of movement anyway, about the only thing that you can do is make sure that if it's a full break that it's set correctly. Aside from that, not much to do.

A doctor for a broken toe? Screw that...

I've never visited the doctor for broken toes. I remember once I was in Queens loading two busted ass cars onto the trailer for repo, and I dropped the huge ramps on my feet, smashed all 10 toes... hurt like a bitch, they swelled, turned yellow, and couldn't be moved. I just walked around on my heals for the next few days. Still did my job.
