I never realised deodorant cans could be so dangerous

[Desmo]

Hanging my clothes away earlier, I managed to knock a deodorant can out of my cupboard and on to my foot. It landed right on the outside edge of my foot a couple of inches back from my little toe.

I'm now laying in bed with it wrapped in ice. It's hurting like buggery and I can barely put my weight on it. I know the bones can be quite fragile around there but hoping I've just bruised it somehow.

Here's hoping.

[Lomster]

ouch you might have chipped the bone :/ hope you haven't though!!!

[Will]

When I saw deodorant in the title I suddenly thought of you and combustible materials and was fearing the worse!!!

Still sounds rather nasty - hope it's not too bad!

[Desmo]

Can't move my toes now :/

Got it elevated and packed in ice so will just have to see what the morning brings.

[Will]

I've broken all but one of my toes! :o I know how you feel, it's painful :( Hope you get a decent night's sleep and it doesn't last too long.

Might be wise to nip down A&E for an x-ray.

I couldn't move my toes after my break and couldn't put any weight on it :/

Hope it's just badly bruised!

I was thinking that deodrant + fart + naked flame = :eek:

Can't move my toes now :/

:( Might be an idea to have a run down A&E now, it should be quiet on a sunday evening (when I've been in the past).

One of my big toes ended up broken once. They cant do a lot other than confirm its broken and splint it. Hope its not broken and its better in the morning. :)

If it's the foot rather than the toe that's the problem area though, they can do a lot more :)

Fingers crossed it's just bruised though!

[Lomster]

Not much they can do but they can give stronger painkillers :)

[Desmo]

Seem a lot better this morning....think I'm in the clear :D

It still aches a little but I think I got the ice to it quick enough to slow the bruising. I can pretty much walk on it fine but need to be careful not to over-extend my step to much and stretch it.

Bah, you'll be fine. I had a concrete barge board fall on my foot once and all that happened was that I could barely walk for a week or so. Eventually went to A&E who took an x-ray, told me it wasn't broken and kicked me out the door. Didn't even get any painkillers :(

[Desmo]

I didn't go to A&E with a broken collarbone for three days, an aching foot wasn't going to get me out of bed ;D

[Jonny69]

Thought you were going to say it landed on something sharp (like your wit) and it exploded ;D

Glad the old tootsie is ok :)

[Mark]

I thought the same as Will and Zirax. ;D

I've bashed my toes enough times to know just how painful it is even if you don't break it - so very glad you haven't.

[Desmo]

Back to normal today with no problems on our morning walk \o/

[Knipples]

Glad its all better :)
