RE: So On Saturday I Kinda Sorta Broke My Foot...
Ouch!
I have done that a couple times and at best the doctor is going to tape it and give you pain killers and something for the swelling. or in my experience with broken toes.
Put foot up, take ibprofin or something for the swelling.
Hope you feel better!
I rarely get painkillers because they're convinced I'm a drug addict because I complain of severe chronic pain and try to get it managed yet without asking for narcotics.
Very allergic to ibuprofen.
And yeah, that's pretty much why I haven't gone to the hospital. But the more time passes, the more I feel there's definitely a break deeper in my foot as well. Like when I broke my hand twenty years ago.
Swelling is under control. I've been keeping it up most of the time and haven't been walking on it too much. The pain sucks, but the hospital isn't gonna help me with the pain, either.
If its a broken bone in your foot they might put you in a soft cast or a walking cast. if its just a broken toe its one thing but a broken foot might be a bigger deal.
You dont want it to partially heal wrong if its your foot and end up with the doctors wanting to re break it.
:/
Ice pack might help a little if cant take ibuporfen.
Worst that could happen from going to doctors is they say you only have a broken toe. if they confirm your foot is broken then its a good thing you went.
Best thing to deal with pain is to do something else to take you mind off it, like posting and talking with people on steemit.
:D
Then your brain is busy with other stuff insted of concentraiting on the pain.
I've suffered chronic pain my entire life, I'm pretty experienced with distracting myself from it. :P
I'll hopefully be making a few posts today.
:D
Ill try not to miss them.
