a few weekends ago it was so cold we made the choice to take the sawmp cooler out of the window. I didnt have anyone to help me and i figured I took it down last year I put it up this year Ill take it down my self again. Well it was up higher this year and I forgot how heavy it was and I ended up dropping it on my foot. you can touch the top of my foot but cant push down on it. up untill yesterday walking on it was fine and now it hurts to do much more than walk from point A to point B. Forget about going to the store. thats full of pain. I wonder if I just stayed off it for a few days and let it rest unlike I have if it would get better.. Its to the point that if its not better monday I will have to make an appointment to have it looked at :'(

Think you bruised the bones...or broke 'em? Does pain meds help at all?

I donno. I have been trying to stay away from pain meds for a while because its been giving me an upset stomach and headaches. as long as i dont stand on it or have a dog walk across it its been fine. but yesterday and today I had to go to walmart and its killing me..

Feet are really bad for that. my husband had a seizure on August 2nd and in the process ripped his foot really badly on the pavement in the drive. the whole side of his foot was raw. this happens becasue he twists onto the top of the foot as he goes down. His foot was quite swollen after this happened and two days after the seizure I dropped him tohave xrays done - no broken bones or anything. His shouler was also hurt and they were cleared at the same time by xrays.

Fast forward to two days ago - the foot is still hurting quite badly - the raw parts have healed - they were just flesh wounds but the part that he twists onto which is the top of the foot is still in quite a bit of pain - it took him three weeks to put anything but sandals on. He can wear shoes again but there are still days where he finds it too painful to do much of anything on it.
