yesterday i screwed up my foot, it was all swollen and it hurt like a mother, it looks and feels better now though, but yesterday i couldve sworn that it was injured

for future reference how can i tell if i need medical attention, should it look physically hurt or wat??

i had a knee hurt for whole week and i never got it checked out. its fine now. i wouldn't go to the doctor unless its unbearably painfull for 5 days. or unless im bleeding to death or something. anywase i wouldn't recomend using my logic. i broke a finger once and never regained full mobility beacause i didn't get it checked on time.

Usually I can work out what's wrong, because I tend to injure myself in all the same ways, in all the same places. But if it swells up like hell and hurts like hell, get it looked at. OR if there's a giant bone protruding out of your skin; you're better off getting that looked at, also.

Doctors are poo. Just kidding. Um, if you think it's bad then get the doc to do their magic.

the sooner you go, the better. The best thing is to be a baby and go the minute you get hurt. Before, I used to go just when there was blood, but sometimes tissue and muscles get hurt, and you're looking at a lot of time recovering and sometimes even permanent damage.

like my mum said suck it up and take it like a man but in my opinion if you can still move it and it aint broke youll be fine

the only time i go to the doctor is when i can't use the part i injured. if i hurt my leg or foot, and i can't walk on it , it hurts so much, i would go. same with my wrist, if i can't use it at all. go to the doctor, if not, a little blood or a sprain wont hurt ya

That's probably because you have no medical insurance.
You'll know when it doesn't go away.

That sucks, whenever in doubt, see the doc. Did you walking on it do any more damage ?

I don't really worry too much about foot injuries (probably should though). I messed up both of my toenails so they bled profusely and the nails fell off. Nails still haven't grown back... :(

Story time's over.
