i wrecked REALLY HARD on my bike today. i was pulling a really good wheely and then all of a sudden, my bike just comes out from underneath my and im in the air. i hit and the last thing i saw was debris falling off my bike seat before i hit the ground. i had a soft seat, now i got a hard seat. amazingly, i only tore a tendon in my big toe and a scratch or two. does anyone know how to reattach a tendon without the aid of a doctor?

Yeah, we're all capable of internal medicine.... doctors are overrated.... wait... what am I saying!!!!

While I don't advocate not going to the doctor (you could have more wrong than what your self diagnosis indicates). The way you deal with soft tissue damage is to immobilize it for a long while, like broken bones. You need to stay off that foot and it would be a good idea to get a splint or something else (doctors have these interesting little boots), in order to keep you from flexing your toe. Every time you flex that toe, you are hindering the healing of the tissue there.

Just go to the doc. They can set you up so you heal right and have less problems later.

I agree with Drake - what's up with the self diagnosis? A professional should check up on you, just to make sure everything is fine.

true...and they can prescribe some anti-imflammatories or analgesics (for pain)

here is the cure all from modern military medicine.

800 mg's Motrin
Drink plenty of water
walk it off.

this is what we get told for everything from a cold to broken bones

I can't tell you how many times I've heard a corpman tell that to someone. No matter what the problem is.

Happen once to me when i was young. My mother took some duct tape and taped my big toe to my other toes (does this injury happen this much to other poeple?) it helaed just fine, no problems now.

 

[TL chris]

Thats pretty much all you can do. Immobilize it, y'know, keep it from moving.

[Guest]

BAHAHAHAHAHA! Glad to see it is still the same. That is what they gave me at the Travis AFB hospital after my crash in May.
