I don't know any in Gilpin County, but I really like and refer lots of folks to this guy (Denver):
Dr. Kenneth Morgan
950 E Harvard Ave
Suite 100
Denver, CO 80210
tel(303)772-8767

I think the docs in Gilpin start off with some bloodletting right away for just about anything.

Thanks for the info and the recommendation. I'll call him at 9:01 AM.

You got it.

I'd go to an Emergency Clinic of the 24 hour type. You need a tetanus shot if you have not had one in the last ten years. Delaying professional medical care could easily cost you your life. I'f this was Florida I'd say go immediately to an ER due to flesh eating bacteria... FFS go to a Doctor!

Probably good advice and thanks for it. However, I did have a tetanus shot last year and I have 3 kids sleeping with the wife at work. Since this thing doesn't hurt at all, isn't throbbing, and isn't swelling at all, I'm going to get it checked out ASAP in the morning. Weird...feels completely normal except I can't flex it.

Go in and see a doctor tomorrow. If you got a tendon or ligament it could or could not hurt. If you severed the tendon you can walk around without it and will have to decide if you want to be able to straiten out your toe or not. Being able to flex it downwards (bottom tendon) but not upwards (top tendon) may mean you got it. Trauma to an area can make it hard to move that area sometimes though. The dark dark red blood is just because by the time the blood reaches your toes it has expended most of its oxygen and gets darker. Sorry for the wishy washy answers but a physical exam will be the only way to really tell what you managed to do.

I had a fight bite right on/in the joint of my left ring finger. Swelling/infection curled it and useless, but once all that was gone, it remained kinda weak/less than full movement for a couple months, followed by another 6 of pain when squeezing hard or popping finger. Eventually did go away. Could be the injury swelling, or maybe I knicked but didnt cut. Not a clear answer but just my experience.

I would be concerned about cross contamination from the chicken as well.
We may witness you become a fowl individual, clucking about and complaining like an old hen.
Be sure to check your bowel movements, they may become white and egg shaped.



Seriously though, get yourself to the Doc.

Whatever Fentonite told you is probably your best bet, but yeah get to a Doc

It's just a toe. Save yourself the cost of a doctor visit, put a band aid on it, and move on.

Im not a doctor but I did stay at a holiday inn the other night.
