In another thread MortSahlFan has mentioned a serious foot injury problem he has had for the last six months and I thought I would reference it in case anyone who didn’t look at that thread has any advice:
My left foot has been in so much pain - even a few steps inside…
And since June, I’ve had a horrible foot injury. Nature called in the middle of the night, and I stubbed my toe, but it turns out the real pain is on the left bone of my left foot. It’s still killing me…
I don’t even have a doctor. I can’t imagine it being broke from a stubbed toe, but it hurts like hell when I walk. For 6 months…
While posters have strongly recommended going to the doctor, I think there is a lot you can do with the right type of shoes and padding/support for the rest of the foot so the pressure is NOT on the injured part.
I actually never wear shoes. And although my foot hurts, I live alone, and have to do the minimum amount of cleaning. If I wasn’t broke, I would have to consider some support… As of now, the best I can do is wear thick socks.
I wonder if sitting cross-legged is bad for my foot.
Since you won’t see a doctor, at least heed the advice I got from mine. Sitting cross-legged for extended periods can put pressure on nerves in places that weren’t designed to have that much pressure put on them.
