I broke my toe this morning while going into my bathroom.

Ouch! Broke toes hurt and there ain't much the doctor can do for them. When i broke my big toe and the two beside it, the doctor looked at them and said "yeah, they're broke, you'll have to be real careful walking around for a few weeks," just before leaving the room. I asked, "You're not going to put some kind of bandage around them for protection?" He replied, " you won't bump them but one time."

He was right, after the first toe jam, I became very careful.

Good luck.

OUCH! I've never broke a toe, ankles,arms yeah. Toe , what a painful place to break.

I think I would be tempted to get my tractor and remove whatever obstruction caused the "accident". Just say'in

Yep, broken toes hurt LOTS; had more than one, but I got mine motorcycle racing, mountain climbing, logging and such not going to the bathroom.:laughing:

Just kidding, actually the last one I broke was...

I then went down bouncing off the wall, window sill and night stand; looked like a darned Laurel and Hardy movie.

Nothing like getting your toe hung up on the shifter during a good crash huh Triple? Man that sucked. Still hurts

Although I did not break my left big toe , While moving a large desk up a flight of stairs for some people , it was pushed onto my left foot including my big toe . Pain , Oh Yea , Intense to say the least . A few days later , I tried go steelhead fishing in the river just down the road from our place . This was in March , so i was wearing insulated waders . Two pairs of socks , waders , another pair of socks , waders shoes , then water . Lasted about 10 minutes , before I had to bail . Thought the cold water would make it less painful , like a numbing effect , thats what I get for thinking though .

Here is my latest F*** - up :
While moving my clamp on forks , was carrying them with one hand on the cross bar and other on one of the forks . Went to set them down by leaning them against my rear blade . One end kind of bounced on the ground , so while brain was saying " Let GO!!! " , hand was saying " Duh , What " , which quickly became " Oh S*** " . Followed by many other choice vocabulary words . My finger became a sort of pad between the cross bar of the forks and the box frame of the blade .

Ain't it the truth. I never quite figured out if it was best to "bail" or "ride it out"; tried both and the end results always seemed in end the same way.

I rode dirt and street both and sure miss it in spite of a few minor broken bones and road rash.

My motto in the dirt was "if you ain't crashing, you're really not trying"; pavement not so much, but I did push it too far a few times. Funny everyone told me I would get killed on my motorcycles, but a car wreck was what got me.

I broke my toe this morning while going into my bathroom.

Only bone I ever broke, and not even sure it was really broke, everyone said it was though, as it turned the deepest shade of purple and hurt like an SOB
Some numb nuts working next to me dropped an 8 inch masonry block on me worst of all it was the bosses son, so I couldn't do much about it.

Here is my latest F*** - up :

I got hit in the thumb nail by a masons hammer, by some one else also.

Was near the end of the day so I just went home cause it hurt real bad. The old timer mason I was working with said to heat a pin red hot and poke it thru the nail to relieve the pressure, WHAT??? No way I was going to do that I thought to myself.
As I was driving home it was throbbing and hurt so bad I was getting dizzy :confused2: By the time I got home I started looking for a pin!

I wont go into all the details, but man let me tell you there could be alot of pressure built up under a purple fingernail!!! The pin trick did work, as it provided instant relieve

I broke my first toe in sixth grade riding my beloved '72 Yamaha RD60. It pointed at about a 60* angle off to the side. I'll never forget, the Dr was talking to my mother ( keeping me distracted) and had a grip on that toe like he was done looking at it but just hadn't let go of it yet.......wham! Yanked on it to reset it then explained it was better that I didn't know that was coming. I think I about crapped my pants. They taped it to the toe next to it if I remember right and they said go home, nothing else we can do. Doubt it cost my parents more than $10-$15 for the Dr. bill back then. I remember the next day, I was bragging during school recess about how I had just escaped having my foot amputated and Marybeth Ennis challenged me to a playground foot race. All my buddies were of course saying that even a one legged boy could beat a girl so I had to race her. I won!....kinda. I remember after recess gong in the restroom and taking my boot off to make sure my toe was stiff attached because anything that hurt that bad had to mean the toe was still going to be in the boot when I took it off :laughing:.

Here's my point....don't cave into peer pressure. Sorry you broke your toe but if your friends try to pressure you into racing a girl w/ your broken toe because we're the dominant sex, take the higher ground.
