    Just broke three toes

    I finished my last set of leg press and went to unload it. I was taking a plate off when i guess i didnt realize how much bar i had left and it slipped off the end from about 4 feet high and fell directly on my foot. So i proceeded to taking the rest of the plates of and limped to the locker room. I take my shoe off and the first three toes on my right foot are dark purple and i cant move them. All three of the nails are black. I went home, took a painkiller and iced them. Usually for a broken toe i just let it heal on its own but i think i may need to see a doctor this time

    done that.

    it sucks, bro.

    don't really know what a doc will do for a broken toe: put a splint on it and tell you to lay off it.

    I can't imagine how that must've felt. I dropped a 5 pound plate from 4 feet up (sliding of barbell doing bench) and it landed on my big toe. That was 5 months ago, my toe is still black!

    If oyu can stay off of it as much as possible and it should accelorate the healing. Get the painkillers though!
