Crap...

I went to see a doctor today, he said it's mostly likely just bruised, but he sent me to do some x-ray anyway. However, then the radiologist sent me to the Urgent Care. The doctor at the Urgent Care care told me my toe is broken. She showed me the x-ray, it's not just a fracture, it's "broken" broken, the bone just before the first digit on the big toe has a diagnal fracture, part of the bone moved to the side... ouch....

The broken toe is the Distal Phalange #1, as the diagram shown below. It's broken at about 45o, and the top broken part got pushed to the right side a few milimeters...



She told me to see a specialist, and she said they may not reset my bone, since it's already been 5 days, it already started to grow....

Not only that, she said there also looks like an old fracture in one of the Metatarsals. I knew it! I've been complaining about it for the past 2 years, had many x-rays taken, even went to see a specialist. But nobody could see anything wrong with it, I was start to think I'm crazy or just just extra wimpy...

Ouchy, and I've been walking, jumping, kicking, bouncing all these days... doh!
