So I figured I should give some update to this. I know @TrainForPain was at least mildly curious. I wont go into too much detail so this may sound a bit cryptic but you should get most of it.
The day procedure went well. I had it done through a private hospital and the level of patient care was excellent making the whole process pretty low stress. Saw the surgeon after and there was basically no new which in this case is really good news. No blockages, no scarring, prostate good, bladder good. So whilst this is all great and exactly what I wanted to hear, it does mean I still have some unanswered questions. Follow up appointment with the specialist in a few weeks so hopefully he can give me some more information and work through next steps if there are any.
Having broken a toe like a year ago, I feel your pain. Itâs not a crazy bad injury by any means, but just a shockingly annoying one lol. Hope it ainât too messed up brother
Thanks for following up and thatâs all good news! I want to guess stones, but Iâm sure they would have seen that by now
No stones. Basically from what the surgeon said, there is nothing to report. As in everything looks really good. It looks like it could just be me getting old. LOL
It will be fine as long as my kids dont stand on it. LOL
That would be ideal
Yes and yet also sad at the same time. LOL
Enter a bench and press training block!
Then again as long as youâre not doing pushups/burpees youâd probably get through deads and squats tooâŠ?
I should be good to squat and deadlift this week as it is only deload weights. Burpees and the jump back into the push up may be a challenge. If they wont work I will swap them for swings or something else.
Last broken toe I had I Was able to still deadlift ok.
Squatting hurt a little more, but after a week was also tolerable. Took about 6-7 weeks to feel nothing again, which honestly for having not really nothing to assist it, I thought was pretty good LOL
I have busted a few toes over time. Other than maybe tape it to another toe there really nothing to do. At the moment it doesnât hurt when I push my feet to the ground or raise my toes but does hurt if I try to screw my toes up. This present an issue if I grip the ground with my toes when squatting. Not sure if I really do that or not, but will find out later tonight when I do some squats.

I find that everything hurts BECAUSE itâs a deload week, haha!
Glad to read this.
Clumsy Simo is at it again, haha! Nah good to hear youâre all well with the hospital stuff, mate. Youâre more experienced as one should be with smashed toes, so Iâm sure youâre gonna be fine there.
I think Iâve only ever broken one (dropped a plate of course).
You would think by this age I would have learnt to judge where my feet are. LOL.
With the deload in progress it still looks like a good workout
Honestly, your first response should have been to call a toe truck for this type of injury.
Iâm also very disappointed that @TrainForPain did not come in here and make this joke first. I allowed him several days, and got nothing.
Ha! That was an absolute winner. Iâm definitely off my game
I had to talk to @TrainForPain about one of his earlier inappropriate comments and since then he has been toeing the line.
