Gutted

[GreenGirl89]

OMG my W8, R2 is tomorrow but I've just broken my toe and I can't walk. I'm so upset 😢

As u look at the pic it's the right side, toe next to my big one. That much pain I'm going to throw up.

[Couchpotato2 Graduate]

Oh I’m so sorry! Hope the pain calms down soon... don’t worry the run will still be there waiting for you and someois bound to suggest loads of exercises that will keep up your fitness. Take care

Thanks. I can't believe im such an idiot. I'm so upset because I've come so far. I'm really gutted 😭

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to GreenGirl89]

I can imagine. I’m not sure I can run 9:1 tomorrow and if I don’t, I’m not sure when I can because i get busy and and but I need to relax about it as I want to keep up running and not just stop after week 9 so there is time.

[GreenGirl89 in reply to Couchpotato2]

I hear you but I now actually enjoy running and it's me time. So thats another reason why I'm gutted with myself. Congrats on getting to wk 9 x

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to GreenGirl89]

Thanks. Good luck and keep posting x

Omg! ☹️😘 that’s really rubbish... I hope you can try and stay positive and I guess you just need it to heal then get back out there. It’s a temporary blip but so disappointing for you! Xx

[Wimborne]

Oh bless you. That’s really rubbish and I get how gutted you are. Hope the pain eases off soon for you and you heal well and quickly. Take care.

[GreenGirl89]

Thanks everyone 😘

Ouch! The run will wait for sure. As @couchpotato2 promised... livestrong.com/article/4735...

Keep as active as you can and the comeback will be easier.

[Runners Graduate]

Oh how disappointing for you, don’t let it get you down, keep your fitness up and you will be back. Take care of that toe and don’t try to get back running before it’s completely healed.

Once the pain has gone... then buddy it up to the next toe.. the big one... with some surgical tape... you can then, if you wish begin to move on it again.

Having broken toes several times.. it will ease... The run will wait

[Spikys_mum Graduate]

I feel for you GreenGirl, that must be unbelievably frustrating. Wishing you a speedy recovery x

[Agelesslass]

Sorry about your toe, hope it heals quickly for you. Ouch!!!!

[Kasi42 Graduate]

Is it def broken? Apply some neighbor strapping (like old floss said) and lots of paracetamol!! Oh, make sure you put a thin layer of gauze or something absorbent between the 2 toes before u strap them. Otherwise sweaty toes stuck together can lead to some nasty skin breakdown!

[GreenGirl89 in reply to Kasi42]

I've strapped it up already, and I'm taking pain killers. It's broken at the base. The pain is horrendous 😭

[Nanasueby]

Oh no! I get how gutted you must be😞. Hope you recover quickly. Keep as active as you can. You'll be back out there before you know it. Good luck xx

[Kasi42 Graduate]

Did u get it xrayed? You could have something else broken in ur foot?

[GreenGirl89 in reply to Kasi42]

I'm going to go today. But got to wait for hubby to finish work because I can't drive

[Granspeed Graduate]

Oh ouch. Your poor thing. 😱 So, so painful -I remember from long ago when a horse stepped on my bare foot. Do all the right things and once the pain is gone, follow doc/physio advice to the letter & it will get better surprisingly quickly. But meanwhile ☹️😰 so hard!!

[Delilah123]

Just to add a note of optimism, the break where it is should heal pretty quickly. Breaking a different bone in your foot would have put off your running for a lot longer than a toe bone. Good luck and finally you have the rest of your life to run as you're a runner now so it will happen. Good luck 👍
