I think I broke my foot

[Mermaid02]

I opened the back of my van on 09/05 and a bunch of stuff that came out of my dd's apt fell out and something landed on my foot. It really hurt but I walked it off and told myself I was fine. It hasn't been the same since- but today it's really bad so I have an appointment tomorrow.

I know I should have gone to the doctor when I did it- but I hate to go for "nothing" ya know what I mean? Stupid. Now if it is broken there's nothing to do for it, I'm sure it's healing by now.

Maybe they can reset it.

How long ago had it been since you hurt it?

Almost 3 weeks. My gut said, "you just really hurt yourself" and my head said, "suck it up"

I edited my post because I didn't read the part where you said 9/05.

Did you hear a pop? Hopefully it is just a deep bruise.

No- I just heard all the stuff fall onto the driveway from my van, then I heard myself swear. LOL

well i hear a pop and then pain on my broken foot.. maybe you have a bad bruise ..bad but an xray will tell..

if you want info on broken let me know... simply put.. surgery, ice, no weight bearing on foot, 8 weeks or more of no work, and then PT.. not fun..

That is what I heard too. The pop is unmistakable. I heard it , felt it, and screamed " I just broke my (bleepin) foot". I knew right away. OP, I hope everything turns out ok.

That really stinks! I'm so sorry that happened to you~
Whatever it is, broken or not, I hope it heals well for you soon.
Take care of yourself!

Yeah, I'd say xrays are definitely in order. Especially since you want the foot to heal properly. Its not true that there is nothing to be done for a broken foot. Broken toes OTH all you can do is tape em and what's the point really.

But for your foot you definitely need xrays. May just be a bone bruise, I've done that and they hurt. Good luck at the Drs.

A week after I had my son in September 2008, I walked straight into our rocking chair. I saw stars. For weeks my right foot was in serious pain and I chalked it up to being swollen from just having a baby.

My regular shoes didn't fit on my right foot. I actually went up to a size 12 in shoes thinking that maybe because I had gained so much weight with my pregnancy that there was something wrong with my feet. But, it was just the foot that I walked into the rocking chair with.

It wasn't until I finally went to a podiatrist a few days before *Christmas* did I find out that I had indeed fractured two of the major bones in my foot. My final straw with it was I had gone to the Magic Kingdom the day before and my foot looked like it was oozing out of the top of my shoe, it was so swollen. The doctor was shocked that I had been walking on it for so incredibly long. I ended up wearing a soft cast and a walking boot for about 8 weeks.

Oh...and because I had gone for so long without seeing a doctor, apparently my bones were trying to heal themselves. The x-rays showed "bone callouses" where these deposits had grown around the fractures trying to protect them.

Moral of the story: head to the doctor and get it checked out sooner rather than later.

Mermaid02, how is your foot doing? I hope it's healed nicely and feeling better!

I thought I had updated this! No break, but it still hurts on and off. I guess it's just an internal bruise or something.

Thanks for asking!

Well, I'm glad nothing was broken, but injuries like that can take a long time to heal. Hope it's completely better and pain-free soon!
