I have no idea how this even started but at my job I stand around pretty much the entire time. About two days ago I woke up feeling like a bruise type feeling at the end of my middle toe on my right foot, I thought it was a blister but blisters pop if you poke them, this hasn't popped. It's swollen, red/purple'ish, and it's fucking so unbearable just to walk, I have to work today, does anybody know exactly wtf this is so I can take care of it before I take a power saw to it?

I'm assuming it's this:Tailor's bunion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Possible spider bite? Boots are a common hiding place and you should make a habit out of checking them before sliding your feet inside of them.

That is what it sounds like honestly to me, based on my intense training in Trama Center: New blood on Wii.

[Correction]

did you stub your toe at all? Could just be a hematoma.

[Mizango]

You should totally trust me, I stayed at a Holiday Inn express last night.

I think it may be this here:

Sadly, it makes a lot of sense, the symptoms all fit. Only thing is I am a broke ass right now and cannot see a doctor, home remedies says I gotta switch up what I consume to lower the acid levels... gah why is the human body so fucking complicated?

It also could be Lupus.

LOL your damn avatar (that i think you've had since before I signed up) had me picturing Ed playing Trauma Center, I hate imagination sometimes lol.

Thanks for the feedback though, it sucks that I can't ice it properly without having to wedge it between my toes, it's too damn painful though and is probably making it worse.

Rofl....

[Tyche]

It's not gout.

[Hitoshura]

Really? What could it be then, it has only been getting more and more swollen the past few days... I really don't want to call in for work but I have no fucking idea how I am going to manage today.

About to hit someone up for an eighth.

[Tyche]

I don't know. It's not a bunion. It's not gout either. I've never known either to bruise as you described in the OP.

Yes I've had this avatar forever and I am in fact Edward Elric in RL. Kyo knows me in RL, he can vouch. He's seem my auto mail if you know what I mean.

Rofl....

LOL you know how I roll.

[Hitoshura]

Looking down at it right now, I can see how swelled up it is and where it goes to normal apart from the swelling from my view up top looking at my monitor... it's so nasty and painful.

So should I keep on stabbing it and see if puss/blood comes out? lol inb4pussyblood

[MrW]

POIDH. Downing a pint of OE could work.

[Mizango]

POIDH.

Nah. No dude's feet plz, that's very homo.

[Correction]

Squeamishness doesn't suit you Miz.

[Hitoshura]

I honestly don't want to gross anyone out, my feet look like a goddamn hobbit's.

[Correction]

spoiler it and say 'GROSS FOOT PIC CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK.'

It is likely a bruise you don't remember getting. I've snapped off toenails and not noticed till the next day. Then the day after that is when it really starts to hurt. To say nothing of when the scabs start to grow out underneath what's left of your toenail.

Big nasty bruises can take weeks to fully heal.
