Just got a call from a friend. She fell from a ladder while working in the yard today and felt a sharp pain in her ankle and foot. She has been in the emergency room for hours. Her ankle is sprained, not broken. But she broke her big toe. She will be without a shoe for a few weeks and crutches.
The foot is an intricate structure of 26 bones, 33 joints, multiple muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics. That is a lot of bones in our feet. I know she is in lots of pain. It hurts to just hit your toe on something in the house. Cannot imagine a broken toe.

I hope your friend will get well soon.
In the family, only my mother had broken her wrist, but many friends had broken bones for various reasons.
I hope that your friend will soon be healed
Once I know I broke my big toe, but I heard nothing can be done for a broken toe. It healed fine! A skid feel on it, and when I looked at it every inch of it was black. I feel your friend’s pain and I hope she heals fast.
She is in a lot of pain and I hope that is all that is going on with her.
My son did broke her arm last year when he was 5.
I hope he is better now.
One of my friend’s mother fell from a ladder a month ago and broke her leg in 3 different places. The x-ray was like a horror picture ?. She is recovering, but she has a metal plate and lots of screws holding her leg bones now.
I hope your friend will get better soon and her injury will heal fast ?.
Wow that is such a horrific situation for your friend’s mother. Thank you.
I am sorry your friend got injured. My best suggestion is to pray to God Almighty that He can heal her foot injury soon.
Thanks, I am sure with lots of rest she will be fine.
I have seen medical reports on television in Lake Charles stating that injuries and illnesses heal faster if you have a positive attitude.
That’s gonna hurt!!
Hope she is getting better!
Yes she is in a lot of pain. Thanks!
