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?

In the toe which is broken.

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.
