*Sigh* Two Broken Toes. Lucky Me.....

[gryphon]

I was getting milk from a fridge yesterday and near the cold cellar, someone had left a barbell lying on the floor. Since the lights were not on, I stubbed my foot and broke two toes.

Crapol'a that sucks Gyphon.

which toes? i'm assuming your pinky and second one in?
pinky toes are stubborn...can't put a cast on them...

The two toes right next to the big toe.

oh wow...that really sucks..right in the middle...
have you gotten a cast or brace or something for it? x-rays already i guess

[gryphon]

No. Just told to keep my weight off of it and let it heal. It hurts like hell.

[danger_dan]

oh wow...
Yeah, i would imagine it hurts like hell...

I've broken my pinky toe many times...
it's hard not putting weight on your feet...especially when it's those toes in the middle

Ouch! Try icing it and some Tylenol should help!

Ouch! I hope it heals up fast for you.

As the weather's getting cooler, going barefoot or in loose sandals isn't an attractive option if you're dealing with swelling. When I dislocated 2 toes a while back (thankfully mine didn't break), I found wearing a looser shoe helped to protect the foot while providing some support and warmth. Maybe something similar would work for you. The last thing you want is to get your foot numb on the sub-zero mornings that we've been treated to over the past week!

ouchy gryphon.

yowch. i kicked the couch leg a few years ago and broke my pinky and toe beside it and turned it a lovely shade of blue/black. i was told to stay off it too but i waitressed at the time so it was impossible. hope you get better soon!

Ouchies! If you can, try to keep off that foot as much as possible & keep it elevated. And as strange as it sounds, soaking your foot in lukewarm water will soothe the broken toes & help with the swelling.

Hope you feel better soon.

Wow, that totally Sucks Gryphon!! Sorry to hear that!
I'm afraid to know what you did with that barbell. . . I know if it was my broken toes. . .that thing would be lodged . .
somewhere special. .

Oh, owie! It's amazing how much stubbed toes can hurt - so I can't imagine what broken ones are like!

Ouch, Gryphon, hope you are able to take time to soak you foot, and heal quickly. Take care!
