 Topic: Sore foot
Posted: 04 October 2008 at 8:16am |
Ashleigh did something to her foot last night - not exactly sure what happened but I think she was running for the door into the garage when her Dad came home and went too fast and ended up kicking it or maybe her toes went under the door. Anyway for the rest of the night she was hysterical and wouldn't/couldn't walk and if we tried to make her she was limping really badly lifting her toes up. She was overtired so we thought she was just being a bit precious. But this morning she is still obviously in pain - not crying as much, except if she forgets and tries walking normally, then it starts hurting her again and she cries. The thing is, there is no bruising or swelling and when I poke/prod/pull/wiggle it doesn't bother her, just when she tried to walk on it??? I think she actually has quite a high pain threshold so it really is hurting her. Not sure what to do

Probably best to take her for an x-ray  even if just to give yourself piece of mind.
I've kicked a doorframe before and broken a bone, but the brone I broke was further up the foot rather than on the toe where it hit - it was kinda transferred further up. And it only hurt when I walked on it or deliberately twisted my foot.

Yeah definitely get her checked. When I broke my wrist it was broken on the other side to where I fell on it and there was hardly any swelling. The bruising took days to come out as well.
Hope she's better really fast!

Thanks. Just got home from A & E. The doc doesn't think there is anything broken and thinks it may just be soft tissue damage. But if she hasn't improved by Monday then I have to take her back for an x-ray. And of course, she was quite happy walking around in the waiting room, playing etc (although still limping and walking on the outside of her foot). Get home and she is back to crying, wanting to be carried or else crawling and bum shuffling around as it hurts to stand on
