Shit Pam - that bites! Is the swelling bad? Can you put pressure on it? Can you walk without a lot of pain? Use ice for the swelling and Advil if it hurts too much. I don't know if you need it checked tonight if you can still walk. I do this kinda crap all the time. We really should get w/ Karen- get drunk and go to WalMart. They'd have to throw us out! LOL  I gotta meet you so we can go out and hurt ourselves together. Your sister in pain nani

Coots, as much as anyone might admire you for being able to stick it out, you need to get it checked out. If you allow it to heal on it's own and it really is messed up, it may never heal right and you might be permanently screwed up. Or, they might have to go in and break it a second time to set it right. Too much fun for me.
If my wife did something like that, I wouldn't ask her if she wanted to go to the doctor. I'd load her up and take her.
Go get it looked at.

nani......No shirt no SHOES no service.....so we'll have to go somewhere else till my foot gets 'shoeable'........NO I can NOT walk and hopping was ok for a few mintues......bad on the bad back with more pops and cracks.......tried slideing it across the floor........tired walkin on the inside of my ankle.......I'm outa suggestions. Not balanced well enuff to walk on my hands. Um there is a funny indentation in it jus above the little toe knuckle 'on the sidea my foot'......that ain't supposed to be there.....that's where the crispy crunch was when I hit the floor and grabbed it (and promptly let go with barfing on my mind). Can't bend it up.....it's swellin up now and vibrateing.....nice holiday shade of reds and purples also. Almost festive. It really hurts bad but it's jus a foot. I got two Xmas parties this weekend......what to wear what to wear. When I ripped all my ribs off on one side at a horse show I kept on goin....same when I broke everything else. I will manage.....but I WAS gonna go to bed. Dam it is a long hobble off.......don't think it is a sleep tight nite Pam
PS: Gator....yeah I am payin for not gettin somethin serious checked out with my back years ago now........I know what ya mean. Too late to do a hospital deal for a stupid foot. Oweeeeeeeeeee.........dam that hurts.

If you can't walk on it ... you should definitely have it checked. You don't want it re-broken in order to fix it...OW! You also don't want the kind of injury that you'll feel the rest of your life. A 75 year old cootie saying "Well it must be fixin' to rain- my foot's all swollen and hurtin'"

Well, if you're not gonna go to the hospital, then get some ice on it and elevate it. An anti-inflammatory drug (isn't advil made of ibuprofen? that would work) will help as well.
Take care of yourself.

I've had an ankle fold under while I had put lots of weight on it and heard snapping noises but it turned out to be all the ligaments on one side tearing. Your cracking noise sounds different. X-Rays Pammy, and rental places or med supply places have crutches. Stay off it, elevate, ice, and X-RAYS!
P-rays for Pammy's malaise.
Wish it could be hur-rays or about the good old days.

First choice: Get it checked.

OK guys......I GUESS I am gonna take myself to the horse-pistal today shortly.......can't walk on the dam thing and I gotts alota walkin to do this weekend. I think the bone that broke is the one that runs from your toes up on top of yer foot to your ankle cuz I heard and felt a loud THUMP....then it stung and felt numb with strange pain prickles....then I grabbed it and heard the smushin CRUNCH CRACKLE cuz I grabbed it and set it to look normal....my first reaction to anything that looks odd.....'set it straight' ! But.....I thinks it is gonna get screwy'r tryin to walk on it....was thinkin maybe jus somethin tore off. But it is pretty dam bruised and swollen and actually it is the same pain I have in my back.....so thought I'd wait it out. Got company comeing later......house is a wreck....got Xmas parties starting Sat from 11:00 am thru midnight and all day Sunday at my kids house. I gotta get some SHIT done. And....to top it off most of my crickets died in my gecko aquarium over nite. Oh the stress of it all. Thanks fer keepin me entertained.......reality is now setting in. Up Late with Pammie the barbarian

Glad to hear that you're going to get checked out, hon.
If it were just a toe, I would recommend ice, rest, elevation, and an anti-inflammatory, but this sounds a little more heavy-duty. Hang in there and keep us posted. Hope you feel better!

Cancel the company- this is a good excuse. Once you get used to the crutches the parties should be fine. Good luck!!

Only you, Coots ! Did ya get it checked out yet ? The crunching and the popping sounds more like it should go with a cereal for breakfast rather than a dryer for desert !
Keep us posted !

Well, Pam, wise choice on going to the Dr! I broke the tiny bones in the top of my left foot this summer and because I didn't get it taken care of I now have a huge seperation between my 3rd and 4th toe. All of that is connected apparently. Hmmmm, go figure. The other problem with foot injuries (I know ALL about them 9 casts on my right foot alone! ) is that sometimes a sprain or tear is worse than a break. Can cause a lot of problems! I look like I have elephantitis of the foot because of mine. Hope all is well, Pammie dear! Make sure to let us know what is going on! If you are in a cast just put some tinsel and lights on it for your Christmas parties! Sorry, I had to be a smarty pants because I am so glad I am not the only klutz around here!
Worried about ya babe!

I felt like a FOOL takein myself to the ER for a foot injury......didn't even go when I about snapped my back in half years ago. But.....since I could NOT walk on it I had to do sumthin. Everyone there was intrigued with how I fell off a dryer ! Man I hate hospitals.....parked a mile away cuz stuborn me even tho hurt did NOT want some bozo parkin next to me dentin my doors. Good grief I spent half the day in there. To make a long story not as long as it could be.....I got a spiral fracture.....doc said these kinds of breaks can slip and the bones are not lined up so he wants me to the orthopedic doc early next week. He didn't want me on it at all. I never got to sit down all eve tho after gettin home cuz of showin pups for sale. I am NOT graceful with crutches.......I felt like Jimmi on south park. I jus wanted out of there and back in my truck. Home is where the hobble is Pam

Cheer up Cootie. Christmas partys can be fun in a cast. People can write crazy shit on it after you've had too many of those Christmas cheer drinks. 
Hope the foot gets better Pam.

Did you explain that the washer was in the spin cycle and vibrating too much.

Glad you're TRYING to stay off of it, it'll help with swelling and heal faster. Over time you get more adept using them, surprisingly so too. If they begin to hurt you under the arms, don't hesitate to adjust the height as necessary Pam dear. Glad you went and going to the orthopedic doc too. He'll put it in a big vice and crank until it cracks into position and then do the fine adjustment of placement with a heavy tack hammer. It'll be cool. Kidding kiddo.
Best to you.

Sorry to learn this Cootie. All I can tell you is that I cracked my ankle 7 years ago. It was hairline fracture for which I wore a cast for 6 weeks I think. It can happen anytime.
Mine didn't turn blue either. It just hurt like hell. I still have the cane I used. Handy for getting rid of cobwebs.
Take care of yourself kid.

Cootie... you know how to take a lickin' and keep on tickin' but good grief!
It seems like something always happens before you have a big party going on... whassup with that? I'm sorry you broke your foot, but I don't think that will be stopping you from much. BUT, don't walk on it if you can help it. Hey, I know... tell Brad to carry you around... he Tarzan, you Jane... should make an interesting evening, lol..
Hope your foot heals fast and you get to enjoy your party. Did they at least give you any painkillers? sheesh.
Love you, big hugs Cootie-kins, hope you feel better. Ericka says hi

Pam, Pam, Pam....I'm sorry to have to do this and I don't do it often but this situation calls for it.
STAY OFF YOUR FREAKIN' FOOT!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I am done yelling now. Very important to do what the dr. says or it will haunt you for the rest of your life! I know what I am talking about here - remember I have had 9 casts on my right foot and there is a reason for that, the reason is not listening to the dr's! I know crutches are a pain in the ass but a cast sucks even more! Think about how bad your husband's shoes smell and then think about how bad a foot sweats - 6 weeks in a cast and you really start to take on an unpleasant odor.
