Sure! Here’s a rewritten version of the title:
“Sometimes, People Really Do Need a Break from TikTok: Mom Admits to Breaking Foot Trying Risky Challenge”
“After a Night Out, the Women Headed Back to Their Hotel, Where Cave Chose to Recreate the #DroppingThingsOnMyFoot Challenge—And It’s Exactly as Ridiculous as It Sounds.
In these viral videos, people drop heavier objects on their feet from waist height and rate the pain.”**
“To be honest, I have no idea what I was thinking. I’d just seen so many of them on TikTok and thought, ‘Why not give that one a try?’” Cave told Kennedy News.
“I’ve tried a few dance challenges and drinking ones, but this one felt different, so I figured I’d give it a shot.”
“The slightly tipsy mother-of-two started with a spoon, rating it 1/10 on the pain scale, followed by a doorstop, which she gave a 2/10.
As her confidence grew, she moved on to dropping the hotel’s standing fan and a full suitcase, rating the pain 8/10 and 10/10 — one of which she believes led to her broken foot.”
“At the time, it didn’t hurt much—just a quick sharp pain,” she explained. “It was like stubbing your toe—you hold your foot for a moment and it’s fine, so I just carried on.”
But the next morning, when she attempted to walk, she knew something was off.
She went to Sunderland General Hospital on Monday, March 3, where an X-ray revealed she had fractured her fourth metatarsal and sustained ligament damage, requiring her to wear a medical boot for six weeks.
“The pain was excruciating,” Cave said. “I definitely didn’t expect to break my foot.”
After gaining some confidence, she eventually dropped the hotel’s standing fan and a full suitcase, which she rated 8/10 and 10/10 — one of which she believed broke her foot.Kennedy News and Media
“She was too embarrassed to admit to her doctors that she had purposely dropped the items on her foot, but she’s certain that’s what caused the injury.
“I think it was either the suitcase or the fan—those heavier items—that broke my foot. But honestly, the doorstop did feel like it hit a bone,” Cave said.
Cave admitted that her “more sensible” cousin didn’t join in the foolishness, but she did have a good laugh about it all.”
“They usually call me the crazy one in our group, so I guess I’m the entertainer—just not in the best way, unfortunately,” Cave said.
However, this will be the last time Cave entertains her friends with a TikTok video.
“I’ve definitely learned my lesson. I won’t be doing any more challenges, not at all,” she said. “I’m really embarrassed.”
“The bruising is moving up into my toes, so it’s really not pleasant to look at now. I was worried it might cause permanent damage. Honestly, I never thought it would end up like this.”
Though she didn’t tell her doctors exactly what happened, she’s sharing her story in hopes of warning others against attempting potentially harmful or dangerous acts just for laughs.
After being alerted about the trend, TikTok removed the videos for violating community guidelines and reportedly blocked hashtags and search terms related to the trend, according to Kennedy News.
