Hi, I've only been diagnosed as type 2 for about 3 months. I'm on gabapentin as i have painful feet. The problem is, my son accidentally put his chair leg on my toes earlier and sat on the chair. I now have very painful, bruised, swollen toes, I think possibly broken. Do I treat at home or visit a&e??

Thats good news to some degree. My thoughts are with you, I know how painful that can be. Happy recovery, at least you have a good excuse to sit down and put your feet up

Thank you 4ratbags, sitting with feet up, happily knitting. Have crutches to use when I need to be walking.
