if u have a break, there should b some bruseing there...
there is not much they do 4 broken toes, i didnt even get a cast...
and because of the area , and haveing 2 walk,it takes 4ever 2 heal...
i did the exact thing...
it was years ago, and i got fired...
option 4 - pimpslap ur boss.. twice
no im jk hahah definetly get it checked outtt, my dad (doctor) says that sometimes broken bones are less painful then if u sprain something and theres no way to really tell unless u get an xray. so get the xray with ur companys money and im sure ur boss will get over it soon enough!
get a pair of work boots that fit. you take care of your feet and they take care of you
anytime you have a work related accident...the company is required by Law to write an incident report and send you to the DR. immediately.
1st...Is this a job you plan on making a career out of, or just something to get by until something better comes along?
I would talk to a Lawyer; Especially since they prompted you not to seek medical attention. They broke the law keeping you on shift after you asked for assistance.
Remember Lawyer works on a contingency basis 33% in these type cases. Costs you nothing up front. Only trick is...Finding lawyer who believes you have a case.
Are you in a Union? Union reps would eat this up!
I am not saying jeopardize your job, but You are entitled to medical treatment by Law...That is a fact. peace, and I hope you make it through OK.
Hope this helps ya out a bit:

Have a good one!:thumbsup:
you could go to the doc but even if it is broken there's nothing they can do for it beyond taping it to the toe next-door. making a big deal about it may bring on drug tests if it hasn't already...so tread lightly...lol
True, How true, In fact that what I thought this thread was going to be about m.g. "I dropped 100lbs. on my foot and now they are making me take a drugtest to keep my Job!"
If you get fired, go to the better business bureau. Or something like that.
in the state im from, drug tests are given with any work related injury, if its dirty they wont pay for it...
a lot of times a company will reimburse for the xray if the bone is broken.
