Popcorn Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Oh Sarah....Was it ones of those pains where you can't make a sound for about 30 seconds, then you scream the house down I broke my toe by stubbing it against the door frame - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Sorry about all the fractures, is there a theme developing? Wishing all a speedy recovery. Well if there's spare sympathy going can I have just a bit as my infected toe ( removing some nail after tripping in flip flops on log roll round eglu) has decided not to heal properly and go into a strange lump. Finally visited dr yesterday as going away next week and Mikey suggested that leg raised on cushion at night doesn't bode well. I have had to have antibiotics (never take them!) and may have to have lump surgically removed he said!! Oh dear the dangers of flip flops and log roll. I am going to buy steel toe caps for the autumn! Gina want that emoticon, where did you find it!? Bx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Here Buffie, Smilies/Screamies As I was reading your thread, I thought you were going to tell us your leg had to come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Buffie - you may find a Chiropodist much more help here, especially before you go away. I have a persistent problem with an ingrowing toenail. When it became infected GP said it needed antibiotics (which I declined) and maybe some surgery. Chiropodist gave me same-day appt. and sorted it out straight away, put a bandage on it and that was it - no more pain. It might be worth checking.

buffie Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Thanks Lesley, Good advice. I hate antibiotics and haven't been to the dr for so long. Just think my immune system could do without this before winter. I am taking echinacea and will see what I can do. Bx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 poor Buffy the dangers of keeping chickens ........Tripping over a log roll. Hope it gets better before your holidays......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Oh it could be worse Nicola, I don't really deserve much sympathy as the others are really suffering. At least I can now get on with things just can't wear shoes. Flip flops casued this and funny but as I am shoeless have wear them all the time. I am a walking danger zone! Yes beware of log roll and I have had many tales of the dangers of flip flops. Just hope I can wear my 'pretty shoes' on holiday!! Could cover lump with nail polish!! Ok, maybe not!
