Dropping a settee on your big toe

[monkeytassle]

I would say big heavy solid wood wardrobe doors swinging at speed on their hinges ,closing onto where your fingers ends are is worse

Not that it helps the op but my dad once slammed the car boot on my fingers

Horrendous.

 

[monkeytassle]

Anything that involves fingers and toes is absolutely horrible. Makes me wince thinking about it

This is why I engage professionals - they are superb at moving stuff

Nah, his main problem was letting a boy do a man's job.

My dad once zipped my coat up with my bottom lip stuck int the zip. It was completely mangled, blood everywhere. My mam still gives him shit about it.

My mate’s grandad once dropped us off somewhere - as I was getting out of the car and reaching back in to the back seat to get my rucksack, he started pulling away and ran my foot over

Whilst talking about toes. I was walking barefoot in the changing room and someone stood on my big toe with a big metal rugby stud. Literally could not have aimed it better. That thing was rank. Black. Nail split. Was tender for about 2 years.

You hum it son, I'll play it.

As already said, iby P and RICE.

You'd have a job to play it now. We smashed it to smithereens. Even the iron back of it.

An unpleasant experience, especially in bare feet.

I sat with it in a bowl of ice for most of last night but when I went to bed I woke up a few times in the night because I could feel it throbbing. Can't put any weight on it so I'm hobbling around the house.

Should I try and treat it with anything, like Nurofen gel or Deep Relief? Have it in ice? Or just feel sorry for myself and wait for the nail to drop off?

If you can keep it raised and keep your weight off it that's good, put something under the feet of your bed to raise the end up if that is easier
ibuprofen and paracetamol, ice
no heels

I've got a aching toe - although I think it may be the onset of gout.......... if anyone has any handy tips?

Drop a settee on it?

 

[Metalmicky]

I wish I had - was throbbing like a barsteward last night. Not had an appendage throb like that for a while...

There used to be a lad at my school who got his foreskin trapped in his zip and he was known as Threeskin.

There was a lad at my school called Wayne Bruce. His nickname was Brucey.

I don’t lift heavy items, this avoids problems like this.

I don’t lift heavy items, this avoids problems like this.

Before the incident I had tried to get out of it with the following statements:

• I'm hungover
• I'll do it any other time but now
• We're going to have to move all the other furniture first to get it up the stairs
• Why not pay a little fella to come and do it for you?
• Why are we doing this when there's a heatwave
• Why don't we get a Deliveroo instead?
• If I get injured because you're too weak to lift your end I'll kick off

Lesson learnt? Probably not.
