My poor feet!!!

Ohhhhh

A nurse friend of mine ( female I hasten to add ) told me that if you flick it sharply at the base of the head, if you see what I mean, swelling ceases to be a problem

Thanks, mate!

Thanks, mate!

You're welcome

Nope, not broken(I can move them and there's no crunching noise!

One of them was really bady swollen on Saturday but he could move it - so I don't think it was broken.

check the back of the toes, if they have blackened - get the tape out and strap em

I suspect you misheard. She said "lick it" not "flick it".

They're fine. But thanks.

The webbed one's are already "strapped" to each other...

Update

One of my toes has actually turned a funny colour and the nail looks as though it's going to come off.

Oh - I and I was going to ask if you were feeling better...

Lost my big toe nail last week, 2.5 months after a badly fitted ski boot totally flipped it.

Quiet disconcerting, I sympathise
