Last Tuesday morning(20/1) , I fell down one step in a hotel... somewhere up north... and broke a bone in my big toe, only a minor break, but it means I will be hobbling carefully for the next few weeks

Ouch! Do you have a photo for us? Then we can all rub the image, whilst praying for your speedy recovery.

Hey, it worked for David Beckham - didn't it?!

Have they fitted you with a boot!!! A car in a car park ran over hubby's foot and he broke his toe in practilly the same position. Had a cast, then a boot and was hobbling for 6 months - don't want to depress you though! After he has been standin on it for a while whilst working now, it still hurts. Hope you feel better soon.

Well... an update, my toe went a lovely shade of black last Thursday, and I thought to myself I'll take a picture of that later, come Friday most of the visible bruising had gone, and no it wasn't dirt. From Wednesday night most of the limp had gone...

This morning I put on my steel toecap boots... I doubt I'll last to lunchtime as it does hurt a bit more... we'll see...

Well they did say it was a minor break... but it still hurt like hell at first

But as requested.... an enhanced HD X-ray ... see if you can spot the tiny break?

I'm no doctor. But I do know that your slightly longer second toe (visible to R) indicates strong leadership qualities, resourcefulness and dynamism.

You're also a quick healer. Awesome job! People like you could save the NHS millions.

Seriously though, I'm pleased you're back on your feet. Keep those steelies ON, and use hotel LIFTS in the future.

Latest update... I can walk without a limp atm, but still can't run for more than a few steps
