Oh Toe!

So my leg was getting somewhat better.

I was on a trip and I stubbed three of my toes on a suitcase. Now they swell and tingle. Also it hurts to wear my clinical compression sock. I can wear a low compression sock but not my full strength one and my leg progress is reversing.

ARRRGGH!!!! My coworker said, "Clumsy, you are clumsy."

I feel like every situation is becoming a swelling thing.

Oh damn Cookie!! Sure hope you can get back to wearing your full strength compression garment sooner rather than later. Yes, I hear you on the stubbing of toes.........I usually get mine on the stairs as I try to walk up them and it is only that I'm holding the banister that prevents me from falling flat on my face!

Just hoping also that your toes are just bruised and not broken.

Love n hugs. Chrissy

Aaargh! Cookie, how about the compression stockings without toes (they're called "open toe")? I find them sorta irritating because they can ride up further on my foot, but for the short term they might really help. Here's an example that's available in open toe:

Hope your poor toes heal quickly. It always amazes me how disabling something as small and remote as a toe can be when I've injured it! Get well quick,

I did have an x ray so they are allegedly not broken. Sigh.
