Dropped a 25lb plate on my foot un racking the weight from the hammer strength decline machine. I wasn’t paying attention looking at espn on the tv, the 25lb plate was in front of the 45. When I pulled the 45 it pushed the 25 off and it landed on my foot.
Hurt so bad all I could do was skip across the gym. I didn’t break anything but it swelled up instantly like Jim brown on” I’m gonna get you sucka” against my better judgment I didn’t go to a doctor. Looking back I should have I just didn’t think the swelling would last so long. Thought I could just ice, and take anti inflammatory.
It took my foot a month to heal, a week and a half to fully walk and I couldn’t wear a shoe for the first week.
