Good grief, most of our 'over the counter' Ibuprofen is only 200 mg.
Yep, I'm sure. I just double checked. In Mexico you can buy almost anything from a pharmacy merely by asking. No Rx needed. Nor even for things like Valium.

200mg would have probably done the trick.....

Re: Big toe pain
I have recently been getting the same thing, no swelling or redness just an extremely sharp pain. One minute it hurts like hell if anything touches it, even the slightest touch and the next, it's fine and doesn't hurt at all. I would go to the doctors about it along with my knee problem but I have more chance of winning 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' than getting an appointment with a doctor.Anyone got a dinghy I could borrow? I'll sit on the beach and wait for all the free help to arrive.

Re: Big toe pain
UpdateYesterday I went to my clinic, where dozens of Dr practice, in an attempt to get some treatment and I was greeted by a wall of nurses, backed up by security guards. All in full PPE garb. Normally, I could have been seen as a "walk-in", but not now.
I was told to go to an E.R. at hospital.

Bakerman, pity you didn't think to ring first and see what the situation was.
It would have saved you a wasted journey.
Are Chiropodists working where you are? Could they advise you?

I can not use a phone as I am too hard of hearing to use a phone.
yes, in all likelihood there must be foot doctors here in Mexico. if all else fails I'll go to a regular G.P. and see if he knows of one.

Probably a silly question, but have you got a phone that amplifies? I had to get one for my Mum.

Could you Google Chiropodists in your area perhaps?

But I thank you anyway.

So, an amped phone would do me no good.But I thank you anyway.
Oh, OK.
Sorry, I didn't realise your hearing was so bad.
