I'm sorry. I know how much you love to hike.

UPDATE:

This afternoon, I got a call from the doctor at the walk-in clinic. The radiologist saw a possible, partial bone crack/break at the base of the fourth toe, where it connects to the foot. That's where it hurts.

Will follow up with my regular doctor on May 4. May need more x-rays or an MRI.

"Continue with RICE: rest, ice, compression and elevation for two weeks," the doctor said. "And take ibuprofen. See how it feels."

Good news! Today I had x-rays. No broken bones in my foot. I feel tremendously relieved.

Sorry for you pain and injury,,hope it feels better soon..Then on the lighter side it did exactly what it was suppose to do find the furniture

Infuriating when you do something harmful to yourself and immediately know it was your own fault!

Ouch

This morning, it looks like a metatarsal bone popped up under the skin. I will go to an outpatient clinic when it opens at 8 a.m.

With a high pain tolerance, I waited four days before going to the doctor after breaking my wrist and index finger in a fall. Did the usual "wait and see" routine: rest, ice, compression, elevation and ibuprofen.

"My hand hurts," I said mildly to my doctor, extending my hand.

"It's broken!" she exclaimed. "Your wrist and index finger are broken. Go to the hospital right now!"

It is both frustrating and saddening when our aging bodies tell us that we need to lessen activities that we genuinely love.

So sorry to hear about your injury, Hope that you heal quickly.

Hang in there. Go see your doctor or out patients at closest hospital.

Get X-Ray quickly probably fracture
