Possible broken bone?

[agnes]

Morning guys,

Just a quick one before I raise it with my doc on Wednesday with my regular checkup. And to save my self looking like a ***.

Is it possible to break certain bones and still carry on as normal, paticularly in your feet?

On the top of my left foot (forgive my biology, not exactly a science geek lol), it has been sore for the last 2 weeks, if I put presure on the inside of my big toe to move it away from the others, the pain is very high, but when walking like normal, it's very minimal. If I try to push all my toes upwards it hurts as well.

I have closely examined the area and no bruising is present and the pain has not become less or more since it started.

I can't remember exactly when this started as well, just remember waking up one morning with it.

Anyways, is it a possible fracture of some sort? Or do I just need to spend man points to buy some balls?

Thanks

Yes, it is possible.....I broke a finger and didn't realise until it started changing colour several weeks later.

A friend broke his leg and carried on as normal, he just said it hurt a bit, then a in a few weeks it got swollen and started to turn black, had an xray and he had several fractures.

Eeek, was it constantly warmer than usual as well around the fractured/broken bone?

Guess I will raise it with the doc on Wednesday then lol.

First off, get yourself to the Doctor, medical threads are frowned upon here. I have been off work for the past 2 months with a stress fracture of third dorsum metatarsal bone in me right foot. My right foot has a tendency to land on it's outside edge when i walk so putting a side load on the long bones of the foot which they're not designed to cope with and this bone in me right foot let just let go.

I'm not a doctor, just relating what my symptons were/ are, get yourself to the doc asap and he might send you for an X-ray which'll show if you've an injury straight away.

Thanks for the input chap, as said, got a doctors appointment with the nurse to get the last of my vaccines for India and a checkup with my GP right after. So will bring it up then

Ok, so my question now is if it is a fracture, a tiny one... What exactly can they do? Will they just tell me to take weight off? Will I end up with an elephant foot of plaster?
