A 35 lb kettle bell fell off of a 24” box at the gym on my big toe. I don’t think it’s broken but might loose the toenail. Gnarly, huh? (Need to be creative for rest of /commit x /higher-athletics month)

I'm doing ice, arnica, rest, nsaids, and some light flexing. @notdevin.eth or @keccers.eth have you ever got a gnarley heavy weight injury like this? If so, what have you found best for recovery?

Walk it off Jk, how goes healing? I don’t have any real edge for bruises other than tb-500 and bpc, but I wouldn’t necessarily start a cycle of that just for a hematoma. If you broke it then I’d for sure hop on that combo

It’s funny you mentioned that … honestly functional weight-bearing stuff has been really helping: - Ended up walking down 1000 foot hill and back up for a parade over Father’s Day weekend - Carryied my boy on my shoulders (55 lbs) through the Audubon for a nature walk the following day I’ve been using a topical NSAID on top of Motrin and Tylenol. Can finally bear full body weight on it, but the toenail they may still fall off. This has been the healing progress over the last four days.

Solid! The only thing I would personally do is stay away from all NSAIDs, they impede healing. NCBI has a number of papers identifying complications of NSAIDs doing what they claim to do
