Not the year for healthy bones it seems

Between lostmind's knee surgry and Pepperfreak's broken foot, this isn't turning out to be a good year for the lower half of people's bodies. The curse of THP has now made it's way to me.

Long story short, I broke my toe many years ago when I kicked a bowling ball as hard as I could with the front of my right foot, completely breaking my big toe and causing the bowling ball to roll an inch. Over the year's I keep rebreaking it (once while on stage during dress rehersal).

Now, out of nowhere, it's broken again, can't put a ton of weight on it (ie, sitting on my legs on the floor) but I can walk around fine, but it still hurts like a bitch.

What the hell is going on here?
 
My first question is WHY did you kick a bowling ball? :lol: I suppose alcohol might played a part...

Tape...You need to tape it to your other toe. It really helps, I have broken my big toe before too and I know it hurts like a b*tch, but taping it does help.

I was in 5th grade (many many moons ago) and a friend and I were at the park. Well I spotted what looked like a rubber dodge ball (someone put some tape on it in an x shape so it looked like it was repaired) off in the distance with no one around. I said to my friend, "Friend, watch this! I'm going to kick that dodge ball into outer space".

So I ran as fast as I could and kicked as hard as I could with the front of my foot and then fell over screaming and writhing in pain. The dodge ball turned out to be a bowling ball (or as they like to say in Japan, "Broring brawl") and instead of outer space, I managed to kick it an inch.

I'm also full of stupid mistake stories like that, I used to be very accident prone. :rolleyes:

YA, I'm going to start taping it tomarrow. I first noticed it about a week ago and it's getting more painful every day so I need to start doing work on it.
 
Holy Sh*t...I can only imagine how bad that must have hurt. Makes me cringe just thinking about kicking it. Bet you were just as surprised too.

I was quite confused at first, then, discovering it was a bowling ball, I was quite pissed. :lol:
 
sorry to hear that your toe is broken now,I hope your toe heals up quick. maybe it'd help to get some of that sports medicine like the pro athletes get :lol:

ok I'm sorry but I gotta laugh at that! I was gonna ask the same thing PF did but you answered it. it HAD to hurt like a MF'er! (kicking the bowling ball)

& if you're offended...well you can laugh that I had my face smack into a tree doing about 20 mph (? on speed its been long ago)on a 3 wheeler when I was a kid (of course no helmet) lost some teeth from that :lol:

thats good that you can laugh at yourself at the things you've did, I know I get a chuckle at some of the things I've did in my younger years, & plenty of it has been stupid :lol:

as the saying goes (for when I was younger) - young, dumb, full of cum, watchout here we come. I think it fits every younger generation for the attitude.
 
I once broke my leg so bad I can no longer sit cross legged properly. doesn't sound like much but by god it's annoying.

oh an i also set my leg on fire by accident.
 
In Oz its easy. We would call you something like a F$%@wit and fall to the ground laughing our heads off! Thats bloody funny shite Iggy.
Just a shame that you didn't get it on video tape so we could all relive the hilarious moment.

Yeah i know im a sadist.

:rofl:

OH OH! I did that too! I threw a lighter on the ground to cause it to explode but it didn't explode(unbeknownst to me it had cracked and leaked it's fluid onto the ground). So I picked it up and threw it down again, this time it exploded but set the fluid on the ground on fire and my leg hair on my right leg caught on fire and burned off.....

The hair grew back though. :lol:
 
Oh man, I've had a ton of broken toes too. Nothing the doc's will do for you either. Advil and tape, try to get it elevated for a few mins several times a day and maybe some ice if it's swollen.

Is capsaicin ruining us? :)

If he had it on tape, it probably would be a contender for
Americas Funniest Videos.
