I just got back from the foot doctor. When I was in Kansas I did a lot of physical labor and moving and crouching down and running and just about anything else you can on your feet, I did.
After 4+ years of working behind the desk with little physical activity I was actually surprised how well my feet held up, little to no pain for the majority of the 11 days, until I was flying home that’s when I was feeling a fair amount of pain in my left foot.
The next day I was in major pain, and for the next 2 days I just sat in a chair and relaxed since I thought the pervious 11 days was catching up with me. But the pain never left my foot, even when I was not on my feet I could and still can feel it. So after a month I realized something was wrong and I went to the foot doctor today to have it looked at expecting sprained muscles at worse.
Not a broken foot.
I actually broke my foot working, so whoever said “hard work never hurt anyone†is full of shit cause that’s a load of crap, I’m hurt dammit and it was caused by hard work!
I forgot what the bone I broke is called, but follow your big toe on the bottom of your feet to the “ball†there are 2 small bones there about the size of a peanut, I broke one of those which was very noticeable on the x-ray even to me. I am now wearing inserts that have a 30% chance of healing it. In 3 weeks I go back and get more x-rays to see what it is doing, but worse case I get a foot operation to remove the bone since it is easier to remove the bone then fix it. Of course if I do get it removed I am looking at a week in bed and 3 weeks of pain and healing, good thing I work from home and at a desk.
So life is wonderful, no bare feet, no running or anything sports related and I get to wear inserts which make me feel much older then I am.
