Broken Toes

[Shodan]

Well.......I had my toe checked 3 weeks after the break and it wasn't healing!! So......I was given 4 more weeks, which I am at the end of now. The thing is definitely better, but still smarts on uneven surfaces, etc. Just called the Dr. today to see if I need another x-ray or when I could return to martial arts.......not sure they will re-x-ray it.....probably just tell me to go with what I feel. I do think I will wear shoes for awhile........I found some martial arts-type shoes not long ago to try out. Amazing how much one toe can hurt and throw you off your schedule!!

I broke the big toe and chipped a bone further up the foot when I kicked and had my opponent's elbow dropped on my foot.. I waited a couple of days before going to the doc.. Crutches, vicodin, and a silly shoe plus a few hundred dollars later.. Pffts..
Doc told me I have arthritis in my foot so now since the fracture healed (took about 4 weeks)- it still hurts when the weather goes south and I'm avoiding all elbows

Good luck with it.. If you're young and healthy, you should do just fine
Older you get.. the more fragile the ole bones get as we all know
