Ugh. Felt like an idiot earlier today when I stubbed my toe, hard, and now hours later feeling sorry for myself too as the pain is now worse and it's turning purple. Yay. Hope I can find an appointment to get it seen to sooner rather than later...

@sarajw Broken or not, an injured toes can be unbearable. I hope you recover quickly.

@CodeMacLife thank you! I feel less worried now I know walking on it isn't grinding any broken bones 😅😬

@sarajw yay! just a dramatic toe. lol

@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@aiken yep! Purple and dramatic - the bruising and swelling itself was causing pain last night. Will keep it up today.

@sarajw when I was a kid this happened to me: I was watching the Kung-Fu series on TV, and wanted to see if I could kick down a door like David Carradine. Turns out you needed to spend some time in training in a Tibetan temple first.

@danjac oh ouuuch. Blue toes too?

@sarajw As an expert on the topic of breaking toes, I suggest you definitely see a doctor soon. Get well!

@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@MoritzGiessmann thank you! Have just had my appointment confirmed, so will get seen today 🥳

@sarajw you're no idiot, I got a blue toe not that long ago while building some Ikea furniture.

I don't know how they can be so small and hurt so much at the same time 😭, but hopefully yours is just being dramatic and will get better soon by itself!

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@aiken hope so!! Did yours heal up ok then?

aiken,
@aiken@social.lol avatar

@sarajw yes!

Of course, I can't know if it's a similar situation, but I hope so.

The pain was excruciating the first hours.

The second day some of insensitivity stayed but pain was bearable as long as I was careful with my foot.

It will look ugly even when it's not broken, but the pain should slowly go away.

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@aiken can hope! Waiting for a confirmation of an appointment for tomorrow morning 🤞

@sarajw I broke a large toe stubbing it when I was around 20 or so. It wasn't fun, hopefully you just sprained it or something 🤕

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@anniegreens I don't think there's much can be done about a broken toe tbh - splinting it to the next toe? But I best find out what's up...

anniegreens,
@anniegreens@social.lol avatar

@sarajw definitely get it checked out, but agree that they might just advise keeping it elevated, iced, and stay off of it, which will probably annoy the heck out of you like the last time you had a foot/ankle injury (can't recall exactly what it was, but I remember you hated it!)

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@anniegreens yeah my other foot still has plantar fasciitis to some degree, wearing barefoot style shoes has helped... And actually the nice wide barefoot shoes will probably be better for this, too, rather than normal shoes.

Yeah. I mean I can try to do my job laid down - can't use the big-ass monitor then though, boo

@sarajw Do you think it’s broken? It sounds painful just by reading about it. Painkillers, now!

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@maique possibly yeah. I haven't taken any yet but it'd probably be smart to take a big fat ibuprofen before bed...

maique,
@maique@social.lol avatar

@sarajw I would!

(Disclaimer: not a doctor!)

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@maique got some 600mg ones somewhere... I'll look after myself don't worry.

@sarajw Hope you feel better soon ☺️
