Broke Lil Toe
Soo on June 12th as I was packing up boxes for our move I kicked a box (on accident) and my little toe immediately began to swell and turn blue. The next morning I went to the Urgent Health Care and they confirmed I broke my toe and that I needed to see an orthopedist b/c they may need to put a pin in it the way it was broke. I was pretty aggravated b/c my work outs were going so good and there is a trail run I want to enter at the end of July. This isn’t my first broke toe and it all just seems soo ridiculous 6 weeks for a toe to heal! Anyhow defiant of the doctors about 5 days later I began to lift and do cardio again. I was doing fine with it and it wasn’t bothering my toe. However I seem to continue to bump that toe or bend it the wrong way while just doing nothing. Saturday night I smashed the crap out of it again and fell to the floor. This time it hurt worse than when I broke it, I mean a nauseating pain! So I have been taking motrin again to help with the swelling and I will stay away from the cardio for a few days til I see the doctor again. Now if I can just figure out how to stop being a clutz so the dang thing can heal!

Oooh! That is awful! I have broken several toes several times - totally clutsy - LOL! but in my case they have always just taped the toe to the toe next to it and let it heal. I wish you a speedy recovery.
