Found out I have signs of osteoporosis in my left foot which was fractured last year. Turns out skateboarding again has only aggravated it, but now there's a sharp pain when I take a step, just like last year before I found out about the fracture.
All this could have been avoided if the customer I was helping when I worked in a lumberyard didn't answer his phone as we were carrying a 6x6 16' treated beam that had been soaking up water for months. He answers the phone, drops his end of the beam, the thing weighs over 300 lbs, I can't hold it anymore and drop my end, right on my left foot, right above where the steel toe ends.
