Cinnamon Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Been there to - dropped a mallet from a high shelf onto mine It really hurts, so I sympathise. They didn't do anything to mine......in fact they made me walk to x-ray It healed all lumpy too, so it looks even uglier than toes do normally, if thats possible!

Princess Leia Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Did that a very long time ago kicking an over inflated car tyre (don't ask). Finished up with a dinky little cast on it, but had to cut the front out of one of a pair of shoes to wear them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Ouch! I feel your pain having broken right big toe twice (obviously didn't do it properly 1st time ) No strapping or sympathy just told to 'be careful'.....as if I was going to run a marathon Top joint now slightly crooked ....good job I'm not vain Hope you feel more cheerful soon!

AndyRoo Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Yes, after the first time I broke a toe (they literally just bound it to the next one with plasters), I've come to expect no sympathy. Such as I got: "Oh you've broken it before, it might heal slightly crooked and funny then. Take painkillers for the pain and try not to bash it again." She didn't even have the common decency to offer to put me into an medically induced coma for a few weeks until I recovered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 " She didn't even have the common decency to offer to put me into an medically induced coma for a few weeks until I recovered! Or prescribe Gin and tonic I keep on at my GP about the benefits of G&T on prescription but she seems more of a green tea drinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 One thing you learn about GP's working with them is 1 they never ask their staff if they are better when they come back from sick - so patients cant expect TLC - no chance 2 if you are dying they wont send you home - just pile on more work 3 Soapdragon - you'll be classed as heavy drinker even 1 G&T a week and frogmarched to Practice Nurse for alcohol counselling. What she wont tell you is that she drinks more than you 4 If you want sympathy Nurses are better - but you have to catch us on a good day.

AndyRoo Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 When it comes to Gin or Vodka or Whisky, it is safe to say I am happy to self-medicate. *hiccup* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Yup, I came to the conclusion that self medication is the best options in some cases.....of course, the crux of the matter is knowing which Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 My mom banged her toe and it turned the darkest purple I've ever seen! We went to a fysiotherapist and he did an amazing job in taping it in! The bruise was gone within 4 days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeramaSilly Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Ouch!! No broken bones here but don't know why?! I tripped in the garden yesterday, the side of my head hit the paving slabs first and then my shoulder! One black eye and a very badly bruised shoulder! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
