Zapp Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yep, stubbed my little toe so badly once that the nail went black and fell off. It hurt lots! ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGalway Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I've broken 8 toes, some twice, by stubbing... Thankfully I seem to have gotten out of that habit. It might help to get an insole for your shoe and cut out the bit that'd go under your toe... or not... . My toes used to turn purple when broken, then go through all variety of bruise colours, all very interesting to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandersj89 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 You have my deepest sympathy, I know how much toes/feet hurt when it goes wrong. I managed to severely stuff a foot a couple of years back in 2005; One day I was reading an article in the Farmers Weekly about the level of farming accidents rising dramatically , indeed the HSE have said farming fatalities have doubled year on year since 2002. The next moment I was looking after the family farm for a couple of weeks. I looked at the weather forecast and wanted to get the remaining barley straw under cover before forecasted rain arrived. With straw prices being low I sent the chaps home at 5.30 to avoid any overtime leaving the last 30 round bales for me to load and haul back to the farm before going out to dinner with my wife. All was going well until I was hitching the trailer with 8 bales on board and then I managed, through rushing and not doing things as I should and cutting corners, to drop the tow bar on my right foot, probably about 3 tonnes of weight. And all I was wearing on my feet were a pair of deck shoes! How bloody stupid did I feel! The next problem being I was ½ a mile from the house and no mobile, so I finished hitching the trailer, had a quick peek in my shoe, not nice, and then drove back to the house where Debbie ran me to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, plastic supermarket bag wrapped around my foot to stop the red stuff staining the carpets in the car! It could have been a lot worse, I had 3 broken toes, 6 fractures in total, I have only have 9 toenails to trim now and 24 hours after the event I had a foot the size of a football If the hook had hit a couple of inches to the left or further up the foot it could have been far worse, removal of foot was an option....... I have to say the staff at A&E in Exeter were great, I was seen very quickly, probably as I was making a mess of their nice clean floor, both doctors and nurses could not have been kinder. It took a few months to get back to "normal" but luckily no long term issues!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
