Shawna Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I suppose the "typical woman" response would be to beautify the feet whilst remaining stoically calm about the agony? oh hell no. I'm the biggest baby on the planet when it comes to pain. I want it looking as ugly as possible for as long as possible so I can get maximum sympathy. I hate pain. Hate it hate it hate it.

Jenny Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I would want the pain gone first, too. However, if the product she recommended reduced swelling as well as bruising, I'd consider it, since the swelling can be contributing to the pain.

Steel2Velvet Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 A hairline fracture of the toe(s) would still allow them to function normally, but be in extreme pain with discoloration longterm (more than a few months) and some swelling initially. This happened to me a year ago. I thought my toe was not broken because I could still flex it. All that means is that the bones are not removed from responding to the muscles and tendons through a lateral break. It could still be a longintudinal fracture. Time is about the only healer, in that case. Took me 6 months to get back to normal, while enduring numerous sudden spasms of pain as the toe pressed for balance from time to time.

Mars88 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 b-f, hope your foot feels better soon. This is why I try to avoid exercise. From my understanding, there's nothing that can be done (cast-wise) about a broken toe anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 When I broke my finger playing basketball, I could still move it... it was swollen and eve though it was quite painful, I expected a broken bone to hurt more... maybe I was just lucky. I didn't even want to go to the doctor at first Luckily, I never sustained a serious injury while playing football (that only happens to me when I try other kinds of sports) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) I think there are different degrees in 'broken', however a finger isn't that painful compared to a leg I guess. Luckily I never had anything broken (except my heart ) Edited June 20, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Wrecking my knee hurt a lot more than my finger... and that wasn't broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viaene Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I once had a sprained foot, second degree (there are 3), that hurt! I managed to do so while dancing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'm sorry, but that mental image made me laugh Sprained ankles are bad though, yes... as bad as accidentally jumping on your own toes Just thinking of that makes me cringe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Luckily I never had anything broken (except my heart ) I broke my wrist once, it took me 60 days to recover. My heart was broken some four times or more. Sometimes it would heal in two weeks, but one time it took more than two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I'm trying to figure out how that is even possible. Can you post a photo? I knew you'd all make fun of me You just jump and kind of stretch your feet doing so, and coming down again you don't land on the soles of feet, but your toes instead...
