Does this shit look broken?
 

So to make a long story shot, the damn cat tripped me up while i was walking out into the garage and i kinda kicked the edge of the door. It it was hurning liek a bitch lastnight and today is a tingley and numb and is hard to move... but doesn't hurt...and it purple. I'm pretty sure it's broken....

Are you a hobbit?

fuck off! I was wearing my driving shoes all day (auto-x day) and i cant spread my toes apart since i did this. And thats a size 11 foot right there...not a damn hobbit.

nice hairy toes. Just stick some foam between the last 3 toes and tape it up...that's all any doctor would do.

Broken? Not likely Can you wiggle it, even a little? . Bruised and hemorrhaged a bit definitely.

Throw some ice on that little piggy to take down the swelling and down advils for the next few days to help it out.

I can BARELY move it...and it's been popping as i walk..yuck. I can't say i've ever funked up one of my toes like this before...

Pawned by the cat :giggle:

Ive had mytoes looking like that in the past from stubbing and dropping stuff. Grin and bear it cause a doc cant do anything anyways

yeah not much anyone could do for it besides ice it, support it and keep off it

Usually if its broken you would know. Can you walk on it ok? It does look pretty bad, usually stubbed toes don't swell up that much. Motin is my aspirin of choice.

Vash-

+1.

A bunch of years ago, somebody convinced me that I should take my maybe-broken toe to the hospital cause "Oh, yeah, nowadays they can do something to help." Wrong, again. 3 hours hanging out in the ER with a bunch of addicts and genuinely hurt people. Cost me $200 to find out my toe was broken and they couldn't do a thing.

last time i went to a doctor was because a freight elevator door smashed my middle finger. I turbocharged my car that weekend and when the swelling didn't die down I went in. It broke in three places. They cast my entire arm, and that lasted 3 days when I cut it off and splinted the finger. When it came time the "remove" the cast, the doctor was shocked, but xrays showed it healed 100%.

Broke my toe once falling down the stairs, played basketball on that one a few hours later...went to the doctor the next day, and they said it's broke and they couldnt do anything.

looks broke to me. splint it up and walk with a pimp cane.

I wonder if it could be dislocated if it's not broken. I can walk with a hobble and ok if i walk with my weight on the inside of my foot.

Pain tolerance is a big factor in hospital visits too. I know people that go to the hospital if they have a bad cough. :eek5:

When I snapped my ligament off my wrist, I continued working pouring concrete and humping forms all day long for 6 months till I had this surgery. My fucking middle name is pain...:)

Vash-

maybe if you didn't wear ballet slippers everywhere this wouldn't happen. :gay:

Try to get the swelling down and feel along the bone. You may be able to feel bone grinding against bone (crepoitous) if it's broken. If it feels out of place you may want to pull gently on the front of it while gripping the tip of the bone to realign any broken pieces. Beyond that, everyone is pretty much right. Put a bit of gause and something solid between the two toes and bandage them together. Ice it, elevate and take some ibuprofen.

get some of those toe spacers women use to paint toe nails out of your bathroom cabinet...fag.

elevate, ice, and ibuprofen.

I actually dislocated a finger playing soccer. not broke, but the last knuckle on my left ring finger went above the second to last. like this: __- ..a Z almost. I pulled it back myself. Basically I didn't do anything except ice the shit out of it until the swelling went down and go to physical therapy so I wouldn't be gimpy.

You dont need to do anything with it unless the swelling doesn't go down in a few days.

I broke my pinky toe in December. It hurt like a bitch for a week. I went to the VA and sat there for 4 hours for them to Xray it and tell me it was broken. There was nothing they could do since I could walk on it already, and for me not run for 9 weeks.

You might have broke it, but no biggy, probably.

BTW If you ever have any fantasy about how good Government Healthcare would be, go set at a VA Clinic/Hospital.

I like how these threads ALWAYS turn into "One time I did "something similar to OP" and im gonna tell you about it." Did he ask for our fucking life stories?
Makes for a good read though.
lol

lmao guys....and fags.

Im just gonna let it do it's thing until it feels better and see what happens. If it's broken, i don't think it's too far out of whack since it still looks rather straight.

On a side note, i had a friend who broke his clavicle (aka front collar bone) and he just kinda took it easy. Did it doing moto-x and he didn't have any kind of insurance and never went to the hospital. When it finally healed, the bone was overlapping kinda like this

i know that shit had to hurt.


At least the toe doesn't feel near as bad as when i severd/cut my left achilles tendon all the way through.

Were you at the Doublecross? I thought it looked like the car in your sig there. My wife and I were there w/ our E-Stock R-package.

I agree, broke or not....... get the pimp cane. :cool:

Looks broke to me, I had a few myself that looked like that.
It may be too late now, but everytime I do something like that, I pull on the toe/finger to get it to align properly, and just tape it to another one with spacer in between to keep it straight. It'll be ok in no time, it just hurts like hell once you pull on it, but feels much better afterwards.

Medical diagnosis by MT.net FTW!:bowrofl:

Kick the cat...with other foot.

who doesn't like common frame of reference anecdotes? really, your post added less useful information.

Re: collarbones and pissing off freshy... my cousin was hit by a car while riding his bike and broke both collar bones when he landed belly-flop on the asphalt. fucked his shit up.

my other cousin was riding his bike and RAN INTO a car and busted hes femur by wedging it between the pedal and handlebars. moron.

cousin number two ran me over in a pedal car when I was a kid and broke my wrist. moron.

I don't have a gruesome pic to post, but my right collarbone looks pretty much exactly like that. Not quite as much overlap, but the two halves are offset by about 1 circumference. That was 10 years ago and it still irritates me.

Yup :)
I got 2 eliminations right off the bat on sunday... against Steve Waters in the 99 SS C6 Vette' (he had a 1 second lead start on me thanks to Strelneiks) and then i went against the yellow STS2 CRX...and lost after he got a 2.5 second lead start lol. Buy hey, it was my first PRO event and i was running on Hankook road race slicks (read - MUCH harder then those fancy A6's) so I couldn't expect to do all that well lol.

:giggle:

I know there really isn't much i can do for it, figured someone here has done it too

I got down to the final 8 and my wife won the ladies challenge. $1075 and 7 free Hoosiers made for a pretty good weekend. I guess we will come back for the National Tour, you gonna be there?

Congrats!


The only way im ever doing a PRO event again is if i get a set of A6's to run on, there is no way in hell im going to be remotely competitive running C50 Hankooks :(

Do you think those uber-wings do anything? I've contemplated buying a spare trunk lid so i can have one with a gi-nor-mo wing too lol

who does your pedicure?

LOLCAT pic please

Your right.
I was just pissed that I didn't have one to tell and everybody else did. :sad2:

If it starts to really bother you you can fix it at home with a couple of supplies.

1-Hammer
2-Chisel
3-Cutting board
4-Blow torch
5-Narcotic pain killer
6-Video camera

One good swift whack and it'll be all over.

OK, I had my wife look at it. She is an RN.

Yes, it appears to be broken.

There isn't anything you can do for it. It will heal on it's own. She said some people wear open toed shoes just so it isn't rubbing on anything.

That little shopping list made me think of the movie Hostel.

I do.... with my teeth.

lmao, but,
i've had it worse....

Minor fuckind detail shithead.... if i were to go in the batheroom and get that, wouldn't it mean im kinda sorta living with a woman? If you wanted to use a proper insult, you would have remembered to use the word partner/bf/assmongler/hippie/topper...... but i know those are words you like to use in YOUR bedroom.......:fawk:

Mr "I haven't gone bareback since 2001":bowrofl::giggle:

wow badgerbadger, i think the break has induced rage.

I do not know about broken, but it sure looks gay.

Might be broken, might not be. It does not make a big difference. Just tape it and you will be fine.

Hey, at least i can drive my car:fawk:. Have you gotten your shit to pass the Sweedish Nazi inspection laws yet?



Oh and Mr 8675309, if you want to feed the fire, go buy me some mexican food so i can torch you with the fire coming out of my ass:asshole:

Contused, yes. Dislocated, maybe at the furthest joint but there's no obvious deformity. Hobbit, depends on height but the toes show a string possibility. Fractured, no telling unless Stein's wife's xray vision can confirm it. Either way, ice packs, pain meds, elevate to help with pain and swelling, and you can "buddy tape" the injuried toe to the one next to it to "splint" it. Just make sure to use gauze/cotton balls (should be next to the toe nail polish thingy in the bathroom cabinet) between the toes you tape up. It's to help prevent skin breakdown from friction, contrary to Zabac's "spacer" (we're such motor heads!!). :bigtu:

Animal Chin, I've been searching for you!

:doh: Damn, I walked right into that one. I have not, no. I have been here in Germany and worked. Car is at home in Sweden and it totally blows. But hey! I drove my BMW on the Nurburgring last week!

I will drive on he Nurburgring one day......

LOL!! "SK8 or Die".
