My right foot (Freaky Picture attached)

[Ninja Elephant]

My right foot, and other assorted injury pictures (Graphic, this is fair warning)

So I was playing 6 a side last night and got caught with a very firm but fair tackle. I knew it was a bit off but didn't think much of it until I got home and had a look. See attached picture....

(I changed the thread title, to stop unsuspecting people claiming to be shocked and unwarned)

Cut your damn toenails!

Cut your damn toenails!

I was expecting that. And did, shortly after taking this picture. Clearly, I got that slightly the wrong way around. But surely the focus shouldn't be there...

Is it sore? I'm asking 'cause my granny had a sore tooth once and they
had to remove it. Not sure if it's the same procedure with sore feet but...

Heres a shot of them both taken a day before to compare

What are we looking at? If it's the bulbous right side of your ankle, my left looks exactly the same, as I sprained it out walking on the Downs the week before last

I have the same tiles in my bathroom!

Go to the hospital right now and they'll only have to cut it off to the knee. If you leave it any longer it'll be the whole leg.

Seriously, I did that to my ankle when I fell over at a kids party, chasing a balloon in the garden. Felt like a right plonker I can tell you.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Wonderful responses.

I did the same thing to my left ankle earlier in the year, I overstretched to score a goal and went over on the ankle quite badly. It swelled up almost straight away in pretty much exactly the same way this one has. It's not pretty, but it could have been a lot worse. Stay safe out there, kids.

[MENTION=13422]willyfantastic[/MENTION], there really was no way I was playing today!

 

[middletoenail]

Cut it off!

 

[JOLovegrove]

Oh, wait...

 

[Drumstick]

Ouch. You'll have to have a beer and pizza it's the only way to heal it.

NE its your lucky day I just done a first aid course.

Can you stick a pin in the bulge 1st and tell me what the liquid smells and looks like. I will then let you know the treatment you need. About 1 inch deep should do.

It's more or less identical to mine - I blocked a shot and it swelled up like a sprain. Bruising after a couple of days was absolutely biblical, spread to my sole and up my calf and shin and my toes went black. Think it's called bursitis, where the fluid around the joint gets burst and swells up like crazy, it can be caused by heavy impacts. Takes about a fortnight to a month to heal, would recommend RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) at every available opportunity, even a week or more later, if the swelling still hasn't gone down. And don't do what I did and play the next week anyway, it really isn't a bright idea.

Happy Birthday pal.

Thanks for the advice, been doing all those things. Ironically, I literally just had a conversation with the captain of my regular team on sundays and said I'd be fine to play. Ambitious.
