It started swelling and swelled some more and then really hurting. I've got a good pain threshold but I had my foot up at one point and was looking at it and thinking it looked very odd and then when I tried to weight bear, it really wasn't that easy anymore, so I talked to Dr Google who told me to go to my nearest urgent care asap.
That's it! I stood up, I fell over nothing and broke my foot!
That's not very exciting I thought you might of come up with some sort of tortoise related injury.
