Preface: #1 - absolutely no pics. I don't do pics of feet.
Anyway, a couplefew months back, I was having a particularly bad week, and there was this one particularly miserable day that pretty much anything that could go wrong did go wrong. One of those things that went wrong was what I thought was a fairly minor injury at the time.
I was at home and headed upstairs, and in sort of a rush I misstepped and smashed the top of my big toe into one of the stairs. I'm not exactly sure of the details, but I'm pretty sure I caught it on the front lip of the stair and curled it under at the first joint from the end of the toe. It hurt like a bitch, I couldn't walk on it for a good hour or two, and it was instantly bruised up top and bottom, along with a nice bright red line across the top of my toe a couple millimeters south of the toe nail.
Fast forward a couple weeks... it still hurt to move the thing in certain directions, was still somewhat bruised, my nail was slightly messed up (had a small hole in the middle of it along with a nice dent where it had been growing out from where the cuticle got smashed). But I could walk on it without issue at all. Still if I stretch my toes out it would tweak a real sharp pain.
Anyway, fast forward to yesterday... my little one was jumping around being goofy, and she spotted my feet. So she decided to grab and squeeze my toes. Her little hand pretty much only got my big toe right between the joint and the base of the nail where I smashed it and OUCH. It was a fairly light squeeze, her being two, but it definitely hurt.
So, here I am thinking the initial injury was just a minor jam or maybe a sprain, but it's been probably 3 or 4 months now. Tell me ATOT doctors... do I need to amputate?
