I was certain that I was ok (alcohol had a little bit of a sway on that thought process), but I woke up the next morning and couldn't walk.
It's now day 5, and 3 of my toes are pretty well black, and the top middle of my foot is still swollen. I can put some weight on it, but not alot, and I can't flex my toes very far. My question is, did I break something? And if I did, is there anything a doctor could do for me if I went to see one?
Any help would be much appreciated  |
Oh my gosh!! I just did almost the same thing on Tuesday! Except for the being totally sober, trying to walk with my whole lower leg asleep, and not falling completely on my ass thing. Two of my toes and the side of my foot folded completely underneath and my whole weight fell on them. I fractured the bone just before my pinkie toe on the outside (5th metatarsal?). They couldn't cast it because of the location, but I'm on crutches and possibly a walking boot soon. It's a pretty shade of purple and green now. Definitely got it x-rayed, though. They said if I keep walking on mine, it'll take up to a month or more to heal.
Best part of my story, though my kindred klutzy spirit? I survived a four day snowboarding trip. And broke my foot in the bathroom the night
after I got home.
