The Weather Wreaks Havoc In Spain
News15 mins ago
Saw MrSmow off on his business trip, then went back in to sort a few things. Long story short I was barefoot and ended up smashing my left foot - mainly the little toe - on a brick wall. Good god the pain, I literally cried. The phrase 'stubbing your toe' is an understatement. Can't even touch it without almost crying. Already going blue with bruising. Have managed to tape it to the toe nxt to it as no point going to hosp, that's all they will do anyway. Can barely stand on it so am on bed with foot raised. Oh well, didn't want to do any disco dancing tonight anyway!!

Use packet of frozen peas or something similar, wrapped in a towel over the entire foot. Take an anti inflammatory every 6 hours for 24 hours. Then use heat instead of cold. If you can get Ananase, pineapple extract tablets, tomorrow that would be good.
Yes, apparently unless the bone is sticking out then there really isn't much a hosp can do for little toes apart from strap to one nxt to it.
Still have crutches here from when I first fractured my spine. Luckily am not going out as weather is absolutely horrendous! Rain is just hammering it down and it's so dark it's like evening.
It may not be broken, it may be dislocated. I did exactly the same to mine about 30 years ago. Went to the doc who was less than interested. It was constantly painful. Then about 5 years later, I smacked it on the bottom of the stairs. Instant dreadful pain followed by relief!!!!
Ice and ibuprofen for you!
