I have cerebral palsy. I fall down the result is a sprain of some kind so Im walking across the street an down I go. I pick myself up and being the expert I am at shutting out my pain (I have DID) I ignore the pain and continue what I am doing - crossing the street to visit my son. I get to DHS. Take my shoe off not much bruising just a dull ache like I normally get with sprains. I let the caseworker know and she helps me back to the visiting room. I have her call a friend to get me home so that I can relax after seeing my son. My friend desides we are going to the doctors, even though it is just a sprain. ( Im able to walk on it and so it just hurts a bit) But I agree if for anything else so that I have a doctors statement so DHS can't claim I am not taking care of myself. X rays come back I have a broken 5th metatarsal Last bone in foot on outside. It took 7 months for it to heal. (hindered by my walking on it to attend caseworkers meetings when I was supposed to stay off it by doctors orders, and the fact that I have cerebral palsy. Normal bone breaks heal in about 4-6 weeks)

I learned my lesson no matter what I now get x rays.
