Broke foot!

Post by Indawoods »

Damn! damn, damn!

Broke my foot last night.... not bike related other than I WAS going to go riding today. :evil:

I live in a split foyer house and was flying down the stairs and my last step before making the turn, I turned my foot to make the turn and it folded under on me. Heard and felt this POP! :shock:

After that I could feel it moving in there... haven't went to the Hospital yet... but on my way shortly. I want to make sure I make the LBL ride on Labor Day!

I'm going regardless....
And I will be riding...even if I have to get a cortizone shot!

Most people I see at work that get's this injury are back on their feet in 4 weeks. So, I'm not too concerned about it.

Best part is more Vicodin! :lol:

Well... It is broke. They gave me this sweet "Body Armor Walker II" to wear. It is designed just like a MX boot except toeless. Don't mind wearing it a bit...especially since it makes my foot feel so much better. Should get some babes attention at work.... :wink:

Vicodins help the pain too!~ :lol:

Hey Jeff Ward won his last Supermoto championship with a broken foot! Having anything wrong with you foot or legs sucks! I had a severe sprain ankle a few years back and it still bothers me to this day. The doc told me it would have been better if I had broke it. So maybe you will heal up better and faster than I did. I think your looking at least at 4 to 6 weeks. UIt took me 3 weeks just to be able to walk without crutches. That sucks man, I'm sorry to here it. :sad: I got to try my knee out yesterday on new trails and rode faster than I ever have on a bike on tight trails, it was awsome! Hope you heal fast bro!!! :supz:

I broke three toes in May-05 in my first H/S, which was in SAND (I HATE THAT CRAP, EVEN MORE NOW). Riding through deep sand whoops and a piece of sand pine (Small Log) was lying in the valley of the whoop. Well I hit it while shifting and (HOLY S&*T) by foot bent 90 degrees down. My foot was gangrene looking for the first week as well as swollen. Took about 3 weeks before I could ride again. ICE & HEAT is the only thing that helped. Well, Vicoden was fun also :supz: :supz:

Sorry about the old post, just scrolling through, and I was also given Vicodin, but it didn't help me at all! That's 2 pills at a time and I still felt nothing! 1000 mg I believe...

Vince, what was your dosage?

Ask your doc if you can supplement the Vicodin up with Ibuprofen . . .

When the block from my surgery wore off I was crawling the walls even though I was maxed out on the narcotics. The doctor-on-call told me to take 600mg Ibuprofen every 6 hours . . . after about 12 hours I was considerably better off.

But don't take my words as advice, call your doc . . .

Vicodin has no affect on me as a pain reliever also. It's your body's chemistry; the way it metabolizes the drug. Just about any narcotic has no affect on me in non life threating doses. One time, a long time ago when I was in the military, I was given 3 doses of morphine during an emergency awake surgery. I felt every slice and every tug and every stitch. I kept telling the surgeon that he got ripped off, that the morphine was swapped for a placebo or something. He didn't believe me, so after he got done, I hopped off the table and told him to watch this: I stood on one foot, closed my eyes, tilted my head back, arms wide apart, then touched the tip of my nose with each hand, one at a time. He couldn't believe it. He didn't think I would even be able to stand without 2 nurses supporting me.

Vicodin does have one affect on me, I have just awful nightmares when I take the stuff. In order to have any affect and be able to rest, I double dose and then wash it down with single malt scotch. No nightmares and I sleep real good that way.

My doc prescribed Vicotin to me also after knee surgery. I really did'nt need it but it was suppose to make you drowsy so I took the prescribed amount and I also had some vivid nightmares/ halucinations. At one point I think I was having both being partly awake and half asleep it was truely a trip. It so screwed with my head that I have never took any since. I threw it out.
