Question: How long does it take to recover from broken toe or torn something in your toe?
My toe might be broken cause it turns red sometimes its been bothering me for like three weeks im wondering how long i should stay off it cause i keep skateboarding on it and it starts hurting like i broke it and it turns red....

Answers:

Sounds like it may have been broken and not cared for properly. Use some adhesive medical tape and tape the injured toe to the toe next to it. Use ice on any swelling for 15 minutes three times a day. Elevate your foot with the bad toe on it whilst sitting in a chair or lying in bed. Try to keep your weight off of the toe as much as possible. No unnecessary standing or walking. Take ibuprofen for any pain. You should heal in about three to four weeks.
