The problem is i have my first Football game of the season in two days!. should i play!? or stay off it for a week or so!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Don't!. You'll be limping anyway!. This is not worth further injury like the other answer stated!.

Tape it (yes, with a piece of scotch tape) to the next toe to stabilize it!. (This means wrap the tape around it twice, not too tightly)!. It should be x-rayed to rule out fracture!. Ice, elevation, and motrin right now!.

Don't wear tennis shoe on that foot!. You should be given "ortho" shoe instead (it's an ugly sandal with a velcro on it)!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

stay off it, you could damage it even more if you play on it, have you gone to see a doctor!? if not you should! Believe me i've had a couple of injuries, i broke my arm and i kept playing even with a cast on at school i then fell on it andit took longer to heal, believe me it's not worth the risk!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
