JAinsworth Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 What did you do, trip over a beer bottle Seriously, that sucks big time. At least you can hobble around and tune that MPI now. If you need anything, just holler. Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pure_insanity Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) havent gotten a foot thank goodness, but ive messed up my fair share of others. i seem to be pretty abusive to my left hand. broke 2 fingers at one point, then a few years later broke 2 bones near my wrist, the 2 bones that connect to your wrist that operate your thumb and pinky finger. then about a year ago i broke a metacarpal in the back of my hand. all of that healed right up and i dont have any trouble whatsoever. however i broke up my collarbone in two places. the same bone was broken in two places about an inch apart. now that one was bad and super painfull. let me describe it this way. the whole story about childbirth being so painfull is a total crock of shiat. if childbirth was HALF as bad as my collar bone break, women would stop that crap after the first one. matter of fact they might not ever give us any again, just to avoid the possibility. that one still gives me trouble but the bone is fine, the trouble is due to some muscles in there that got tore up pretty bad. most times i dont even pay it any attn. but i still know its not just 100% right.

Mazarin Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) I used to play hockey in highschool. I blocked a shot in the first period that hurt like hell. It hit right below the shinguard on my right ankle. I sat on the bench for a couple shifts, then played the rest of the game w/ some discomfort. After the game, as soon as I undid my skate, the pain rushed unto my foot like water. I couldn't pull the skate off it swelled up so quickly. I was PO'd cause they had to cut the skate off, and I had just bought them. I chipped a bunch of ankle bones and had to get debris cleared out. Now I can tell if a storm's coming. http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2594/dscf0050qee.jpg Edited July 25, 2009 by Mazarin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierquest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) As some who went to Nats know I cut my left thumb at the knuckle with my pocket knive at the end of may. I cut my tendon, some cartledge and fractured my bone. I had a pin sticking out the end up my thumb untill the end of june and now I am still wearing what they call a dynamic splint. It allows me some movment of my thumb but I still can barley bend my first knuckle closest to my finger nail. Doc said 12weeks total healing time, im on week 8 now seems like forever. Good luck with your foot and get ready for the doctor bills to start rolling in, insurance or not. Edited July 25, 2009 by Hoosierquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I rolled my foot once working at Disney World. It was agonizing even to just have it sit there, but a bag of ice and a night's sleep and it was pretty much back to normal. After I did that though, it hurt, but not much, so I continued to work. It hurt more and more as the day went on, then after I stopped moving, it was much worse. No break though, pretty sure it was just a sprain. I've never broken any bones, and sure hope I don't.

mstieg Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Had a high ankle sprain once...puffed up next day to balloon tight. purple stripes all over from tears. Crutches for 2 months...no fun in IL winter. Thankfully the Starion & I got a temp. Handicap pass from DMV. I just tore something minor on the inside arch in front of the heel of L foot rounding bases full tilt in softball on Thurs. Can't turn left as fast now. (doh) Hope we both get better quick.

I jumped over a 2 foot tall conveyor...its something we all do 1000 times.....all the time...Its not really a jump....like strateling it and when my first foot went down...rolled it.... I'm not out on medical though.....If I miss work its considered a lost time accident.....I'm saving the company money...I went to work today and sat in the office.....

Ernie88TSi Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 But you are recieving treatment thru worker's comp, correcto? When it really comes down to it, having this documented properly will end up being better for you in the long run, rather than thinking for the company. Of course, I know you're a good guy and a good employee, and thinking about the company, but make sure you put yourself first. Otherwise, you run the risk of really screwing yourself over. 7% of my gross payroll for my company goes to worker's comp insurance. It's a pain in the tail, but it's there for a reason. Use it.
