    I think you've got that round the wrong way...you need to do a clinical trial. Try a bottle or two of port a night and see if the pain persists/spreads or if it just goes away....And if the toe does drop 'orf you can always then pickle it in the port whilst rushing to A&E to have it sewn back on.. Moral - always have some port around - just in case you need to conduct a clinical trial.

    COVID toe is real!
    However it is an inflammatory condition, characterised by painful swelling, itching and a purplish red discolouration.

    I'd heard about it @punkdoc, but I have none of those symptoms at all. If I had Covid [and I can't be sure about that either] I had no real symptoms of that.  :)
    I'm trying very hard not to order a tree. Or two...

    There's no swelling, no redness, no pain when you wiggle it, nothing visible, just a stabby pain when it's flexing as you walk, and then it settles enough. I just walk a bit flat footed on it until then. It's the toe next to the pinky one. The ones which often don't have toenails, but the absence of any bogtrotting on hills of late means I actually have toenails  :D
    Oh well - it'll just have to get on with it. I'm not going near any hospital A&E dept. If it suddenly drops off I might rethink.  ;)
    I'll lay off the port anyway...just in case...
    Stabby pain on specific movements sounds like tendonitis. I've got something similar in my left thumb - sudden sharp pain set off by particular movements, OK again once it wears off, no trouble if I can avoid the movement that sets if off.

    I might, if it was important @floralies, but I'd have nowhere there to quarantine and don't want to have to do it here when I get back as I need to be free, at some point, to take Possum back to Belgium either before Xmas for a quick clothes grab and a few meetings or after Xmas so she can get on with her studies. 

    If you have a stress fracture @Fairygirl shouldn't you be resting it so it can heal?

  • @Fairygirl ... could you let Dave know his twin brother has been found ... he is in @WonkyWomble’s garden bashing pieces of bread with his forehead 🤔

  • We actually managed a quick walk before the rain set in.  @Fairygirl I sometimes get trouble in the big toe on my right foot,  usually goes after a bit of rest,  but keep a check on it.

    Yup... its true,  his escape method is walking in circles... I've put him under the picnic table amongst lots of pots for shelter but he's got no brain at all!!!
