My first osteoporosis accident.

:oops:
I stubbed my toe on the dishwasher (no, not Janet, the machine ) last night.
I know it's absolutely nothing to fret about but I have popped down to A&E seeing as it's literally a minutes drive from where I drop Janet off at work.
I also know there's nothing they can do with a broken toe but I thought it best just to see if it is broken. It has a lovely red lump on it already and a tad sore to touch.
Seen the nurse already. Just waiting to see the doctor.
Aaahhhhh, if only A&E was always this quiet lol.

With my dodgy knees and now this you can all call me toe - knee from now on lol

As I expected. . Waste of time lol.
They said they wouldn't even bother doing am Xray as there is nothing they can do with a broken toe. Thinks I could have a fine fracture.
Lol
Ah well. At least it was very quiet. Apart from the obligatory drunken **** wasting hospital time and resources. People like that need throwing in the river.

Ouch! I bet that hurts, Tony. I have a friend who did something similar - only she ran full pelt into the bedroom and stubbed her toe on the bed. The hospital told her to come back and have it pinned - I think it was broken in two places - but she decided not to bother. Now, when the weather is wet/cold, it is quite sore!

Hope your toe stops hurting and heals well.

You did the sensible thing - what have they advised you to do? I have a friend who broke a smaller toe in two places by tripping over a rug (no osteoporosis troubles) and she has just emerged from six weeks in plaster, hobbling around on crutches. Boy did she moan about that. :roll: She now has a air boot and, oddly, is still moaning. Healing and getting better, albeit slowly, is apparently nothing to write home about. DD

Lol. Thanks ladies. .

They just told me to go home and continue taking my usual pain relief. It's not too painful to be honest apart from wheni knock it again :?
Oooh.. Your friend sounds like she needs sooooooooooo much sympathy DD.. Maybe we should have a whip round for some flowers as she's been so brave :roll: :roll:

Ouch! Look after yourself and maybe you should just do the washing up in future so you don't bump into the machine!

Ouch! I know it's painful because Mr SW broke his some years back and our 8 yr old grandson broke two toes in December playing footie but both were just strapped up and sent on their way. The little fellow is now back to playing footie. I wish you a similar, speedy outcome

tjt6768

Thank you both. .
It's not too painful to be honest but the painkillers are being shovelled non the less.. Lol
I must have become used to the Pregablin already as Friday night I was like a zombie and stayed that way till Sunday night.
Was back to the usual not sleeping too well. . The drowsiness has gone lol. I increase the dosage tomorrow to two 75mg twice a day. That'll be fun haha.

Most places don't x-ray toes but some places do, so it's quite ambiguous. Poor you, sore toes are so painful. Take it easy!

Slosh

Sounds painful. Hope it gets better soon.

glad at least it not painful Tony but bet it was when you did it... :shock: hope it get better very soon...when I broke my big toe they strapped it up and it was comfy...suppose things are changing all the time..x

tjt6768

It's fine now. A bit sore to the touch but apart from that it doesn't really hurt.
Thank you for the lovely support xx
