I broke my foot about 5 weeks back
I was running for the bus, and must have had my foot slightly tilted, so when I slapped it down, it landed on an uneven paving slab, and I just felt something crack/pop with a rather extraordinary amount of pain.

Had to carry on limping to catch the bus. As I was training someone that day, I couldn't just go to the hospital first thing. I ended up staying until about 12, before I phoned my friend to take me to hospital.

Confirmed a break in a metatarsal on my right foot, was in plaster for a few days and told to not put any weight on it. Plaster was removed, they didn't bandage it as I was healing fine, just to keep using my crutches for about 4 weeks, and be careful.

I stopped using my crutches after a week. I know I should have paid attention, but frankly crutches annoy the sweet hell out of me.

No painkillers for me though, gutted.
