Cooks Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Welllllll on the way to bed last night I trip over my own feet and my foot 'clicked' which was painful at the time and then I got into bed and went to sleep. Woke up this morning to a throbbing foot which is constant all day, I can walk but hobbley, and I was hoping it would have gone by now. My bones always click so I thought nothing of the 'click' last night except "ouch!" It is right on the top of my foot by the way, so I kind of tripped up and got that foot caught and it clicked. You reckon it'll go in a day or so? I have too big a feet for my brain and am always tripping up them.

Egluntyne Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Is it swollen or bruised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 a little swllen, nothing to write home about and bruising starting to appear but again nothing that would scare me but harder to see as it is right under my tattoo.

docsquid Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 If you have swelling and bruising, it is worth getting an x-ray - it is easy to fracture a metatarsal in this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 ice pack and bandage it up, although the click sound . . . if it doesn't sort itself out, then off to hospital with you! DD twisted hers - she's always doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looney Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Ouch! If in doubt get it checked out, I would hate you to make things worse without meaning to. Fingers crossed all is fine - though perhaps you might have to put your feet up and get everyone to run around after you for a while.....

Blackrocksrock Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Sounds like a break to me - I would go and get checked out as you should not be in so much pain with it. Hope its ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terracata Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 The crack could either be nothing (Most cracks, knuckles etc. Tend to be air pockets in Synovial fluid being popped) Or could be a fracture in a Tarsal or Metatarsal. The swelling and bruising indicates a fracture, however a serious sprain of one of the many tendons and ligaments in that area could produce the same effect. In any case, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation are good ideas. An ice pack or just some peas from the freezer will do. Out of interest, when you tripped did your ankle rollover towards the outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
