Thanks. Feet are so complicated - worse than backs. Things just start to hurt, and there's usually no easy fix. Richard felt something crack while he was digging with a spade, and it ended up hurting so much he couldn't even put weight on it for days. It's getting better, but he's still hobbling around. He decided not to go to the doctor, mostly because the prospect of getting from the house to the car and from there to the doctor's office sounded like it would cause more harm than anything the doctor could do would make up for. About all you can do for either a cracked bone or a sprain is immobilize it and ice it.
