damn broken toe

Hey bros...

The reason I quit fighting when I am on cycle is I get nasty injuries that screw up training... welll.. as I am off cycle now, I've been back at my school for the last 4 weeks or so...

Just my luck, while fighting on Saturday morning my opponent and I rushed each other at the same time, and my right foot (pinky toe) caught on his right shin. And my toe snapped right off.

We threw a few more blows until I could get him off me enough to glance down...and see my toe at a completely 90 degree angle from what it should be.

My training partner and teach both tried to straighten it right then. OW!

BUt we couldn't get it straight, so we went to the hospital and took X-rays. Turns out I completely snapped the bone in half in the middle of the toe bone. A Nasty shot and the doctor was able to get it half right.

My buddy took some photos and I'll try to post them if I can get him to send them to me. X-rays look pretty gross, too. I'll see if I can get a photo of them that turns out.

Anyway... the thing that pisses me off is that now I can't run... and I can't do squats...

SOrry for the rant... just pissed off that I got injured... again.

Just bite it off, man...and cauterize the wound. VOILA! Problem solved....seriously though, sorry to hear about your misfortune. I fudged my hand up skiing last year (don't ask, I'm a good skier who was doing some dumb shit) and couldn't do any pressing exercises for like a month......

Too bad J-69, those things are a real nag, and seem to take forever to heal up. I did the same thing to the toe next to the small toe a few years back. Thought I'd just dislocated it, so I dragged it on the floor a couple times to set it straight. It just kept flopping out at an angle, so I knew it was broken. Couldn't even put my work boots on for a few days. Not much you can do really, other than perhaps tape it to the one next to it.
Hope you heal up soon.

I broke my big toe last year during my cycle, it sucked...doing squats was so hard. Got by with front squats on a smith machine though. Everyone looked at me like a freak too, limping around the gym and shit. lol Hope yours heals quick bro.

Hey guys.

Thanks for the support. I didn't go to the gym last night (leg day) nor did I go running this morning... but I'll definitely be limping around the gym for the rest of my workout days. I hope they don't give me any crap about not being able to where a sneaker on that foot.

Choke: We were wondering how hell it broke, as well. Near as I can figure is that it just slammed into his shin at the exact right (wrong) angle to break it. I wasn't lookin down at the time, ya know? *smile* And yeah... I break something about once every 6 months or so. But it doesn't mean I have to like it! *grin*

*smile* Plenty o' character without breaking any more bones.

Still haven't gotten the photos from my buddies, but I'll post the xrays.

Attached is the Xray after my buddies tried to straighten the toe, but before the doctor tried.

Yeah, I remember you broke your cheek bone or something, Choke. Sorry to hear it temporarily ruined your boyish good looks. *smile* That's ok. Probably just makes you look scary. intimidation factor, and all.

I really hope Presser doesn't think you're pretty.....it'd ruin the whole mental image I have of him
