You never appreciate how much a toe does until you smash it...

Damn, that smarts. Crushed it while running up the stairs this morning on the metal edges of one of the steps. Could be broken, might not be, but it hurts nonetheless (it's the first toe after the big one on my right foot).

You just never realize how much you actually use your toe until you can't put any pressure on it. Now I walk funny. :)

Tell me about it.

Broke my right big toe after I dropped my closet door on it, I was limping around for a month. And everyone kept making fun of me cause for the first few days I was asking for a wheel chair since I couldn't put any weight on it without pain.

When I was a kid I thought it'd be a grand idea to play football barefoot. I ended up tripping over a root and messing up my little toe. Hurt like crazy (it was probably broken, but not sure since I didn't seek medical attention).

I recently had to have some surgery on my big toe on my right foot... you never realize how important toes are to balance, until you can't use 'em for a bit... i gimped around for about 2 weeks...

Really no point in going to a doctor any ways.. they are just gonna tape it to another toe for ya.. Costly if you dont have insurance coverage.

Worked in a plumbing supply warehouse when I was 17, was helping a co-worker stack 3 inch cast iron pipe with a forklift, one pipe took a spill and gonked my big toe hard enough to curl in my steel toed boots. I looked like Fred Flintstone for a good two minutes jumping around holding my right foot til I could peel off my boot and release my toe. Had to use a tiny drill bit to work a small hole into my toe nail to release the pressure beneath it. Hurt like a Bizatch for the next few days, but would have been a helluvalot worse had I not drilled that hole in my nail.

*warning*

at my friends house in high school. sister dropped a box of frozen shrimp on my big toe. my friend is asian, so, i had to take my shoes off before i came in the house. i was hopping around before he said to me, "uh, dude, your trailing blood on my carpet'. removed my sock, and my toenail was ripped clean off. it also appeared i had a laceration from where my toenail ended to the bottom of my toe, almost before reaching the bottom of my foot. sliced clean down the center. doctors had to numb my foot using thin, painful shots, and then later stitch it up. they predicted my toe nail may never grow back. it did, and thats my story about my toe. :D

80 bucks for 10 minutes of work, i think ill stick it in some ice and take a exacto knife to it for that price, damn...


anyway, my brother broke his big toe when he was young, they basically did just tape it to another toe and he kinda limped around for a few weeks

when i had an ingrown toenail, the doctor cut off that whole side of my nail with a knife. god that hurt.
it came back in a couple months, and that time i went to a pediatrist. he squirted my toe with some magic cold antistetic, then pumped me full of novacain, and proceeded to kill the root of the nail. didn't hurt at all, i didn't even know he was doing anything to me yet when he was done. moral of the story: general practicioners suck ass. specialists are good.

Cut your nail straight across, not in an arc. and don't cut it so close.

I know

I blasted my foot with a dumbell in December (3 shattered toes) and I'm still in pain. I can't stay off my feet but my specialist keeps telling me to. Hopefully someday it will heal.

I feel your pain.
