Do You Think A 10lb weight From 3 Feet High Is Enough To Break A Bone

you should know if it's broken or not. Especially if you've broken the same area before. If it doesn't go away in a couple days....

I dropped a 45lb rubber coated plate on my toe from chest high and it didn't break. It helps that it was a rubber coated plate on a rubber coated floor, but it was from chest high. It turned colors and the toenail fell off, but nothing more.

What kind of shoes were you wearing? Was there any cross wind?

I honestly have no idea what shoes i was wearing. They were a friend's pair who runs XC, so I guess typical running shoes.

But the problem is I had a broken bone in afoot before, and ran and trained for 3 months before tons of pain, so i'm not a great judge at broken bones.

Take a real bright flashlight into a dark room and press it against the bottom of your foot. You can then see if your bone is broken or not...........

A perfect example of Hillary's health care program.

Well actually wouldn't I be able to get an X ray with universal healthcare?

Yeah, if you are willing to wait in line forever for something as minor as a broken foot. [Note: I do not think a broken foot is minor, but a universal health care system does.]

Well honestly I'm not well educated on politics, but I'd rather wait in line to get an X ray then be in my situation now of really not having the option to get an X ray.

But.... Do you think my foot in broken, or would the fall nto be enough to break a bone.

advice please

It COULD easily break a bone but not necessarily.

Do you really expect someone, even a doctor, to diagnose a broken bone based on a brief online description? Go get an x-ray.

Yes it is enuff distance to bust a bone and since you have a screw in your foot the chances rise dramatically.

Ihave no solution to your health care delema- sign up for Medicaid if you are poor, pay the $100 for an X-ray if you are just being parsimonious or hit the credit card. pay it off 20 bucks a month. Hospitals and clinics woldwide take CCs as payment.

Do not go to Emergency Room way way too much $$$. Your local free clinic Dr will RX you a x-ray or they might have a machine there.

My local Doc-in-a-Box will charge you $150 for the visit and the picture- in and out in an hour.Treatment would be more money but at that point with a broken foot you have to do something.

The problem is the wait would be nine weeks and the bone would be healed in six. It's not like standing in line waiting to ride a roller coaster.

Years ago, I was just pushed over from behind, falling onto the grass and twisted and broke my humorous bone.

Three years ago, I fell through an attic stairway landing on my back on the wood floor 8 feet below and didn't break anything.

You never know if something will cause a bone to break
