Get to the A&E quickly. The bruising could be due to the impact but it could also indicate internal bleeding. If you are lucky, you will not have broken any bones but just damaged the soft tissues. Soft tissue damage takes about a week to cure. If there is damage to the nerves it can take several months to stop hurting. If there is a fracture you need to make sure it does not heal badly - hence why it is VERY IMPORTANT to go to your local A&E without delay. It is better for them to think you overreacted than for you to be shy and reticent and suffer unnecessarily.

:crazy: I know I had something to add to this but Matt, those two dimples are like eyes, your butt keeps staring at me :crazy:
Crikey, I've be humping (?!) those things around for years and they're heavy and have hard, thin metal edges - you'll have a lot of pressure in one spot, easily enough to break some fragile foot bones. Take Tania's advice and get an expert to look at it.
And good luck.
First time he's been limp in months :-)
Can we sign yer cast ?

When you get home, get some Arnica cream from Boots and apply it on the bruised toe(s). It speeds up healing of bruises and reduces the pain. I know... I have conducted experiments on bruises treating them with Arnica, Lasonil and nothing at all. Arnica produced by far the best results, even in severe bruising.
When people are cruising for a bruising, it is useful to be prepared....
Yes, you will be able to play the piano again, silly! Just use your foot rather than your toes - problem solved! Or get an electric piano without pedals...
As for brown stains... Daz and 60 degrees long wash is the best combination. Hope you wore clean underwear in case some pretty nurse decides to keep you in for the night ;)
wouldnt worry too much about dvt, if its a clean break there is little risk of that
the meds are probly of the dhc family, potent as buggery, ot a naproxen based which is both pain releif plus anti inflamatory
just rest up
Ok so lets ditch the idea of me kissing ur feet cos i hate feet full stop lol. How bout a soft kiss and a full body massage then a nice bubble bath ??? (i aint massaging feet for luv nor money by the way hehehe) xx
Glad to hear you got seen and diagnosed. You will now need to rest quite a bit and always keep the foot up on a footstool. I am surprised they did not recommend a splint. There are these removable ones nowadays that have velcro straps and you can wear them when you go to bed to ensure you do not move your foot awkwardly and cause yourself undue distress.
I would suggest you see a podiatrist privately for further advice. It shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg to consult one (heheheh... get it? ;) ) and you will get full care instructions and reassurance. Make sure to ask him/her about bathing your foot - allowed/not allowed/what temperatures are safe/how long for.
As for the rest of your problems
a) use a buttplug
b) wear safety shoes next time you dabble with building a computer

I'll have to say I am glad I'm not a pain fan.
