Went and got a truck load of firewood Saturday and while unloading it today I dropped a log on my big toe. I'm usually running around barefooted whenever I'm at home and it caught me this time. A few little scratches but its all blue under the nail, hurts real good too. Exercise check in might be lacking this week.

Ohhh! I hope it heals quickly, Boudreaux, and doesn't morph into an additional problem.
I had some major ingrown toenail problems that two doctors claimed came from a toe injury (although I don't recall injuring it). I do stub my toe or drop something on it occasionally; it was probably just something like that and I didn't worry about it. It resulted in months of pain and two outpatient toenail removal surgeries.
I encourage you to try daily (or twice daily) Epsom salt foot soaks while it is healing, and maybe applying lavender essential oil to it daily for awhile.~ Faith

You’ve got my sympathy! Just two months ago someone dropped me while I was getting out of the river and I broke my middle toe at the base and the 4th toes is painful and looks like a lollypop. I have been soaking it in hot water and Epsom salts but the lollypop won’t go away.
I think there is something called sausage toe that is incurable. Friday I will go to the bone and joint people in town to see what can be done.
Toes are painful. Very painful. Every nerve ending is alerted. I really hope your toe doesn’t develop complications. The big toe is the most important. A broken or sprained big toe can be very disabling.

Sadly, I recently came to the conclusion that I exercise not so much as to feel good as I do to not feel bad (of course that still makes it worth doing...)!
Good luck beating that cold, BoudreauxTawanda
