Broken toe

[gingerjedi]

I caught my little toe on the laundry basket this morning and broke it so I’m now in bloody agony. I know footballers can play with broken toes, where can I get the necessary injection?

sadly doctors don't do anything for you. They just strap the broken one to another one and give you an ibuprofen.

I slipped on the stairs once and put my toes into a square banister, the 2 toes were forced apart by 90 degrees, I actually had to push it back in to get my shoes on. Hobbled about for 3 days before getting an xray.

From past experience I know that A&E will do nothing apart from telling me what I already know, if I was a permy I’d have had the rest of the week off.

Get seen to by a doc. What I'd do if he didn't give me some nice powerful painkillers, is get some Neurofen Plus - it's got codeine in as well as ibuprofen - I'd take two of them, plus 400g of ordinary ibuprofen, after eating, 3x a day. The maximum medical dose is 800g 3x a day. Of course, taking medical advice over the internet is pretty daft, as is self-medicating more than what's written on the box.

I once took a corner too fast on my pushbike, and my left foot slammed into some railings. Even through my shoe, I felt the railing push between my big toe and the next one along. Being 17 and stupid at the time, I didn't see a doc, didn't take any pain killers, and was fine after a week.
