When Toes Ache
When toes break,
When does ache;
When putting on socks
feels liks walking on rocks
One definitely begins to appreciate healthy feet
So I do not know when it happened, but I do seem to have broken a toe. The second from left. The fourth toe. Or the second. Depends on which way one counts, I suppose. Either way. It has been aching for about a week and not getting better.
I feel like a privileged prince whining about it. Others have suffered worse. Hell, I have suffered worse - I once flew off a motorbike and suffered compound fractures of both bones in my left fore arm - but this hurts like hell. One does not appreciate just how important all digits of one's feet are - even the small ones - until one of them takes a break from health. I've spent the last several days walking around in slippers - even outside - because my shoes hurt.
And it doesn't look like my left arm, with it's. matching surgery scars on both sides - the surgeon had to repair both bones, after all.
It's not on the verge of needing to be severed, at least. So there's that.
Still, hurts like hell.
Keep your feet happy! They'll serve you well.

What I Learned Today
I'm here because the image of your feet made me quite uncomfortable. Tis has nothing to do with you personally, I have a bit of a feet phobia. Not your problem really, but yet I came to read more. Slightly sadistic come to think of it.
But shame, your toe looks as if it is in distress. Go get it seen to and pop some anti inflammatories.

Feet are like a train wreck, aren't they? Try as you might, you just can't look away!

Man and now I see there is a whole community dedicated to feet! What are you guys doing in that cult? I'm afraid to look!
Come take a look! It'll be toe-riffic!
Ah I’ve broken a toe, thankfully the only bone I may have broken which is surprising considering the skateboarding and snowboarding I did for over 10 years lol. It sucks when it happens! I’ve broken both my pinky toes and damn it is that brutal. One of them had the nail die when I broke it and it pretty much fell off and turned black. I left it there though and 9 months later it started to grow again which was awesome lol. I evened mine out at least and broke the pinky toe on both of my feet lol walking past something and accidentally kicking it might be the best way to do it, as it’s quick.
I can feel the pain though!
The worst part is that I don't even know what I did! I don't recall any exhilarating fun of late, so whatever happened, it would have sucked doubly! Probably did kick something by accident. Probably a milk crate full of shellac records!
I must say, this made me think of much I appreciate wearing my steel toes to work every day - those feet look rough (sorry, not meant to be negative!)
Ouch!! Broken toes do suck a bit. Not literally as that would just be weird, but, truly an owie!
