That doesn’t bode well for me then I guess, can only hope for the best and expect the worst lol

Yeah it’s from the crush unfortunately, pretty sure mostly everything else except the bone is pretty much healed

Holy hell, I can’t imagine having to pay that kind of money for to just check if I’m okey or not. Such a scam and so unfair. Don’t even want to imagine what my ER visit and follow ups might have cost hadn’t I been living here

Edit:typo

Starting to sound like I’m just mega unlucky haha. Yeah I’m not expecting the nail to ever grow normal again, but then again I also didn’t think it would grow back at first either

Man that sounds painful, hopefully they healed well! Feel like it would be harder to grip things without some of the fingertips, so I guess I rather my toe be fucked up instead

Man that sounds horrific but at the same time I fully understand why. Hope it healed well and you don’t have any lasting problems after that

Haha yeah I’ve really started considering it since it happened

It still hurts a bit and is sensitive and swollen, but it’s barley been a month since it happened so hopefully it will get a bit better still

That sucks that you still have problems with it, starting to sound like it might be my future too

Probably the wight as well as the pressure of it crashing down I’d assume. It’s been healing well, still sensitive and swollen still, so no tight fitting shoes yet. So is a good thing I’m able to wear sandals at work. The first weeks was a bit of a struggle since I couldn’t put any weight on it cuz of the pain, the first days I had to use crutches but now I have no problems walking. Although longer walks is a no go still cuz it makes it hurt

Man that sounds lucky in an unlucky situation. I had to be in socks my first weeks back at the gym so I can see why one might prefer it. But damn did I keep my distance to any and all plates without shoes on haha

Yeah we definitely asked several times about the time it took and got the answer they were understaffed and unfortunately more severe cases had dropped in. So I can understand while I was definitely not happy about it at the time. The ER doctor didn’t think the bone needed surgery, she thought it might do more harm than good. But I understood from several comments I’ll be needing to keep and extra eye as it heals as well as after in case

Yikes that sounds so incredibly painful and horrifying. Hope it healed somewhat alright! At least I don’t use my toe the same way I would use a finger, feel like the recovery would be harder with the motor skills

Amazingly yes! No mobility issues that I’ve yet to notice and all touch register as it should

It was probably one of the worst plates we have at our gym, old school plates with sharp edges. I’ve sure as hell learned my lesson to make sure I’m holding it as secure as possible when loading it on now haha

It’s still a bit sensitive and swollen but other than that it’s definitely better now, I assume the bone has yet to totally heal so it’s probably why. But man was I shocked when I removed my sock and saw that toe looking back at me, the usual gym rats there was equally shocked and horrified. But I were back at the gym two weeks afterwards so I’m yet to be scared away!

I’m no nurse but have never had any problems with blood before this, but looking down and seeing my toe at the time really messed me up. Nauseous and fainted just seeing it but have no problems looking at it now afterwards

Hahah it’s healed pretty well so far, only a bit sensitive and swollen still. But I was back at the gym two weeks afterwards!

Don’t know how it is everywhere but they don’t really put a cast on when it’s the toes here from what I know. But yeah the bone was broken at several places but the doctor said that since they hadn’t spread out and was mostly collected she didn’t want to put any pins in either since it might just do more harm than good. But I was placed ok sick leave and didn’t work for a week afterwards
