Just got back from A&E, I've broken my second metatarsal and displaced my first, from a crush injury
I did this yesterday, hurt like fuck, have gone to work today in a physical job and although slow, in pain and limited, I can work.
I am self employed, so if I don't work, I have no money.
My partner has offered to subsidise an indefinite time off, but being absent means clients go elsewhere.
The pain is a 2 on the 1-10 scale when I'm not doing anything. A 6-7 when I am.
DP is adamant that I do not work until I heal, but I am capable of 90% of my work now, and want to do what I can.
I also would like to pay for Christmas presents myself, not because my partner has wanted to make up the shortfall because of my injury.
Aibu just to man up and get on with it?

Am I being unreasonable to carry on working with a broken foot?
