My left foot!

[david p]

A couple of nights ago I got up in out in bed in the dark (my nightlight died) and I banged my left foot against either the leg of the nightstand or the bed. Now there's a huge black & blue mark just below the little toes on that foot and there is some swelling. I had it x-rayed yesterday, but the doc hasn't told me the results yet. Some PT thoughts could help!

OW!!! I've done this more than once. Fingers tightly crossed that nothing is broken!

Oh Honey,

I HATE when that happens!!! I'm sure there were a few choice words spewing out of your mouth! Prayers that it's only a bruise and nothing is broken.

Keep a very close watch on it, as a diabetic, things can turn nasty fast. I am sure your doctor told you this, but keep your foot elevated when you sleep, etc. We'll say a quick prayers nothing is actually broken and the bruise fades without further incident!

Prayers and good wishes and healing energies are speeding their ways on your behalf, David. May this turn out not to be serious and to heal quickly.

Hope it is just bruised. There is nothing more painful than banging a toe on something.

Oh My! Sorry it happened. I have done the same thing and fractured my little toe. It was so sore & swollen that I cut out a hole in my sneaker so little toe would not be jammed in. I went to dr & got xray & sure enough, it was fractured. This happened 3 yrs ago & I dont remember specifics. I'm pretty sure he did practically nothing other than to tell me to elevate foot at night & be careful not to hit it again. Anyway it finally got better & I've not had any problems with it. I'm diabetic and my foot/toe healed properly.

Well, furniture has legs for a reason.

David, I've broken the pinky toe on my left foot at least 4 times in the last 30 years. I was in college the first time and for a while, the only time I wore shoes was in a parking lot and that lasted 4 months. I couldn't wiggle the toes for ten years. That stool just leaped out in front of my foot.

I've got two blue toes right now because I keep hitting stuff. Not fun. I may have to start wearing shoes in the house.
