Bruised foot

<< Any ideas what I should do to it? Ice? Heat? Nothing but rest? >>

Read a book, called Mind over Mood.*
Then sue your doctor after you recover from gangrene.

*Naw, never mind. Try ice and tender-loving care. Then see an expert.

I went running this morning and on an uneven piece of road, turned my ankle.
Instead of injuring the ankle itself, I managed to bruise the side of my
foot, on the outside of the foot at the base of my little toe where the bone
is close to the surface. It's slightly bruised and a little sore. Any ideas
what I should do to it? Ice? Heat? Nothing but rest?

Amputate it idiot.

Ice for the first 24-48 hours. If there is swelling heat is NOT
advisable. Whether you run or not is proportionate to the level of
discomfort.

Don't listen to dummy here. Just stop running, in 5 or 6 years it'll be fine
and you can resume normal activity (for Doug that requires two hands, one for
the strokin', and one for the magnifying glass.)

First, you need a saw that can cut through bone...

What's the cost of a chewed-off foot,
To get out of a tight spot?

Ruff ruff, bark bark.

The dog's free,
With only three legs.
Three-legged Spot chewed off his paw,
To set himself free.
He got trapped, but saw a way out.
No cost now.
Self-serving therapy.
