Broke the 5th Metatarcal in my Right Foot.... Out of Action for 9-12 weeks

[Dirty]

Dreads the Next 9-12 Weeks... Snapped the 5th Metatarsal completely into This weekend and laid up until Next Thursday with a Boot on my foot..decide next thursday if it needs pins or screws... This sucker is a clean break... walked around on it for 2 days before I relented and went to the Doctor

[Reno Paul]

Need to put you on IR Dirty????

I hope your injury isn't too serious my friend.

[Dirty]

I reckon Reno.... Damn it hurts like a mother...you have never seen a 300 pounder move like me when the Doc put pressure on the break on Monday Night before they did the X-Rays....I have a huge tolerance for pain and I jumped like I was shot and nearly passed out..... Doctor said he had No idea how I walked around on it for 2 days .... most people it would have knocked them out.....I guess my Tolerance for pain hurts me... I have not been pain free in almost 20 years for even one day so Pain is just a part of life...:idk

best thing is to sit in front of the tv and relax, keep your feet elevated, and take plenty of hydrocodone 10/325 (more hydrocodone, less acetaminophen is easier on the liver) with lots of grapefruit juice (an enzyme potentiates opiates).

[Dirty]

Thanks GB.... They have me on the 10/500's


I usually heal quickly so they want me to come back next week and see how it is doing...if no progress is made they will by putting screws in it....the Break is Diagonal and is about 3 inches long...goes from the front of the Bone to almost the end....that is all they are afraid of...it was a straight break it would not worry them.....


If I don't watch it I will be Like Cousin Eddie on Vacation

[YeahBoyHowdy]

sorry to read this DIRTman...............but hell, at least it wasn't your nose @ the Tony awards like Bret Michaels the other day.........



hope you feel better bud.

[Dirty]

Ugh, that sucks dude. I tore my MCL a few weeks ago and have been useless as tits on a bull ever since. Get better soon.

I also broke my metatarsal five years ago. Let's say I'm never playing soccer again (competitively anyway).

[Dirty]

I cracked the one in my Left foot 12 years ago....it hurt, but not like this one.... Holy fuck it hurts


Thanks for the well wishes... and Ligaments ain't nuttin' to sneeze at

[rjordan1979]

It's terrible, all I wanna do is play golf, but I'm a lefty, and tore my right knee....the backswing is fine, but coming through is tough. Gettin' better, though.

Let that foot heal, we're getting up there in our old age, takes a bit to get better

[Dirty]

No doubt.... It will take longer if they don't put screws in it....but will hurt worse as the years pass if they do... so I am just in wait and see mode for the next 3 weeks mainly....

[Dirty]

Time to Lie down and Rest the Ole Broke Foot for a while...Check back in a bit....

[gopherbob]

i didn't realize how bad it was, i had to go back and reread the 1st post. that sounds painful. be careful and don't re injure it.

[Dirty]

It is hard GB... anyway you move that bone moves a little... :NO

[cassiusclay]
