Should I go to the hospital.

[obsolete]

I hit a cone with my foot last night on 128 and twisted my ankle pretty bad. Didn't hurt that much last night but today I got a mean limp. It hurts when I get to the end of a full step with the hurt foot.

I hate taking PTO to go to the doctor, especially having to wait in the ER. So...

I recommend you stop being a pussy, you're in the back seat.

I'd wait till Monday. I wacked my pinky to against door frame in my house about a month ago and it freaking killed. nasty black and blue and swelling almost immediately. I couldn't walk for 2 days and i totally thought it was broken till the 3rd day and it didn't hurt at all anymore.

Now it's fine

UNLESS OF COURSE you think there is something really wrong with it… pinky toe= not a big deal…. Ankle= big deal!

It is most likely a sprain. I used to get them more often before I started to were boots all the time. You will be fine. If it were broken or if you tore a ligament you would not be walking on it from the pain.

Take 400mgs of naproxen sodium every 8 hours and ice it when you can. Also wear shoes that support your ankle. You will be fine. Watch out for cones. I did a similar thing last year when I tried to kick a traffic cone. I thought my leg was going to rip off! lol

Definitely wait. Not worth the ER copay and wait...but if you just have to go...wait until nightime to go into the ER.

I'm a disabled vet. What's a copay?

Also, the weird thing is that there is no real swelling or any bruising.

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

Did you try to Kick the Cone?

I would wait until Monday There is nothing the DOC can do to make it Better anyway

Did you try to Kick the Cone?

jane, how about you take your skirt off

[obsolete]

Jim, how bout you get your own damn joke. :-P

[kb1]

I'd think about going to the ER...if the pain is getting worse after the injury may be worse than you prior thought.

But from the fact you made a poll on the forum to decide probably tells me your mind was already made up.

[newgixxerchic]

quit being a pussy and suck it up alex...

Really, I'd wait and see how it was doing over the weekend, unless you have major plans which would require a lot of pressure on your foot...

[obsolete]

Seriously? You need a poll for people to tell you how much of a pussy you are? None of us knows exactly how bad it hurts, you're a big boy, figure it out.

[#1 masshole]

nah I'd wait too it probably isn't gonna get any worse. Just have ya girl massage me, I mean it.

Yes, this was very serious thread about me needing medical advice from a bunch of people most of whom I don't know very well. Please stay on topic or make a new thread to call me names in.

Thank you

Are there any "urgent care" centers around you? They are cheaper, less of a wait and IMO better than an ER for smaller non-trauma issues. They are starting to gain in popularity since most ER's (In Manchester NH anyway) are full of welfare people looking for something to do for the day or they broke a nail!

[brendanp]

If you get free care from being a vet, just go there... fuck it!

Free except for lost time which is not worth it a lot of times.
