I had a piece of firewood fall over on my foot. 5 minutes later another one. Same place. It kinda hurt but I kept going. Three days later I woke up with a sore big toe. It didn’t really hurt much for two more days and then it really blew up and hurt. I can’t decide if it’s gout or arthritis or maybe a small fracture. I always heard gout is outta this world for pain. I can walk almost normal sometimes but then it swells and I limp. Any ideas folks? No more liver n onions or beer…. I really hope it’s just broken.
Ugh, I'm sorry, ouch! From what I've heard about my mother's husband's gout and RA personally, it sounds more like and injury. I'm no doctor, just passing on what I heard/know. - On the other hand my husband has zero cartilage in his big toe joints and anything that impacts them causes a lot of pain for him. Might be worth your time to see an urgent care and see what they say?
I’m not sitting for 12 hours in the ER. As far as a doctor appt I’ll be dead or better by the time I get in. My daughter sat that long a month ago. I get it about the cartilage cause it used to click a lot.
Oh gosh, I forgot medical care in CA is different there. I heard some tape the big toe and second toe together for broken toes.
