Broke your toe, and it's hot.

Damn.

Bet your son learnt some new words when you did that Mace...
Such a small appendage can cause so much pain and inconvenience.
(Mind you my wife after having 4 childeren mught say that about another small appendage of mine)

Yep. Did the same thing when I was windsurfing once. I was standing in knee deep water getting ready to launch and I brought my right foot up rapidly to place it on the board and my pinky toe just caught the bottom of the rail of the board. Snap. It went numb for a few seconds. I put my foot back in the water and the waves were sloshing around and I could feel my toe just flapping around down there. Ugh. Limped back to the beach, derigged, taped my toe to the other toe and drove 4 hours back to Charlotte (stick shift unfortunately). Since I fly for a hospital I went to the ER, they x-rayed it and said - yeah..sure is broken. Tape it to the other one and carry on. LOL.. Waste of a co-payment.

I've broken a lot of bones (wrist, arm, lower leg, eye socket)..but the toe was the most painful. For a couple weeks after it was very painful when walking. I was really hobbling around. It has healed up just fine though and gives me no problems.

Good luck!

yup, what Beach said it hurts and they can't do much for it, cotton between and tape it to the one next to it, apply good alcohol internally and keep it elevated.

Ouch.. Not done that, but I did kick my bed frame and lost most of my big-toenail. Took ages to heal and was agony to walk on.

This heat wave caught me out, had a level 3+ bilateral pitting oedema over the weekend... booked a doctor's appointment and the swelling vanished 'just in time' to not be obvious at the surgery. Under orders to watch for it, and to book blood & urine tests if it recurs.

Why are the silliest accidents the most painful? I've stubbed the little toe a few times - usually at night going to the bathroom like almost everyone else has.

Really? Mine was only a minor bother.
Cracked ribs from a hard tap into the wall when karting was a different story though, cheesus they hurt.
Also got my sternum smashed a year ago in a racing accident, that also was pretty painful when sitting down/standing up, etc. I made the mistake of accidentally sneezing about a week or two after it happened ...... brought tears to my eyes.

Yeah.. I've broken ribs twice now while windsurfing. I'd say that the ribs were most painful at night (trying to lay on my side was a no go..and coughing..or laughing..yeah..) and the toe was the most painful during the day when just trying to get around.

I've also either cracked a rib or more likely just torn an intercostal muscle on my right side last weekend.
Um ..... I'd best now mention how, a gentleman never tells!
