Effectively off the bike since the big toe meets sofa incident, but not in a good way.
Hairline fracture and quite hurty.
Anyone else suffered and a length of time off the bike?
I'm hoping by end of the week, things might subside.

    I had a similar "bowl of cereal-toddler daughter-turn around-toe caught in bottom of flappy pajama leg-trip-jump-fall-hop-toe meets floor with sickening crack-cereal goes airborne " moment a few years back. Big toe went very black. It was about 3 weeks until I could wear shoes without pain as the swelling was severe. I think possibly 4 weeks until I could get cycle shoes on.

    It bloody hurt like hell. Had to wear sandals to work. I hate sandals. It was early spring and cold.

    Best luck with yours


    Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    Yes sandals with socks because no one wants to see toes the colour of dying flesh.
    I need to change the dressing later on, not looking forward to that.

    Fractured , but all the swelling has gone down and can fit into cycling shoes again
    I got away with that one I think, could have been a lot worse.
