Today, my boyfriend surprised me by offering me a foot massage to ease my sore feet after a run. I asked for a lot of pressure. Now I'm back home in a walking boot after being diagnosed with a fractured fifth metatarsal bone. FML

Hey, you said you wanted it hard!

Yeah, almost as hard as you just tried to be funny.

#15 You're always rude. chill dude. lol

I don't have time to sugarcoat things when I want to point something out. Yes, that can come off as rude. Basically people will jump to just about everybody's defense because they want to feel good about themselves. Case in point, #18.

At least he tried.

I bet you have a bone to pick with him!

oh my gosh I can't believe he had the strength to actually break something! I hope you're alright now

Maybe he should take some massaging lessons...

Loves you so much that it hurts

Make it hurt so good!

That's just the pinky toe, though, right? just curious

If it were the pinky toe it would be considered a phalange. since it is metatarsal that means it must be a bone in her actual foot. Not a toe and not quite up to the ankle. Hope that helped!

I imagine that it would be very very hard to break the metatarsal bones by hand accidentally. OP probably had micro fractures in her metatarsals due to running, this happens a lot and weakens the bone. This is probably why it broke.

I figured that was why.

This comment made me bust out laughing at work and I got a couple weird looks lol.

At least he listened to what you said lol

That's a pretty ******* weak attempt at solace.
