    Hi guys,
    I accidentally dropped a box on my toe today in work. It hurts pretty bad.I don't want to go to the doctor because I can't afford to take a few days off work. Does it look like my injury is serious? Will the nail fall off? What should I do?

    That's the hairiest big toe I've ever seen.:eek:

    Your foot is nearly as manky as your house. Tidy up & ring the doctor. Short term doctors bill VS. long term podiatry problems.

    Think i heard something about kicking the other big toe as hard as you can against a wall will fix it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭Joe10000


    I'd say the leg will have to go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,634 ✭✭✭Aint Eazy Being Cheezy


    You went outside to take a picture of your toe?

    If it's really sore, "ouch" just doesn't cut the mustard.

    Get it checked out ffs.

    Also, clean underneath your toenails. Gross, man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    Looks like your toenail is a goner but you have very clean feet and toenails in your favour, could do with trimming the nails if ya don't mind me saying. If it was me I would bathe it in ice for a while to take down any swelling and then wrap it tightly in a plaster or bandage and hope for the best.

    Start by putting a pedal on your bike op.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    I'm surprised you have any feet at all with all that clutter on your carpet.

    Most mens feet I've seen are far worse to be fair, but maybe tis the company I keep.

    What kind of box was it and what was in the box? What were you doing with the box? How did you drop it? Are you generally clumsy or was it a once off? What kind of mountain bike have you got?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


    :pac::pac: haha that toe looks like it gonna have to be amputated

    Do you regularly look at men's bare feet? :confused:

    This thread should come with a warning op, podophobia is a genuine condition. (apparently)

    This.

    OP, I'm afraid your toe will have to go and it has to be amputated from the neck down for the highest chance of survival.

    It's either Cork University Hospital or Cavan Undertakers and Haberdashery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 889 ✭✭✭Bajingo


    The nail is going to fall off. If the toes isn't broken there shouldn't be a need to go to the doctor. It doesn't look swollen either. Similar thing happened to me, just keep the toe somewhat padded...looks really sore though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,064 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Boards gave me a "best cure for nail fungus" ad in this thread. The toes on that look way worse than the OP.
