NBR: broken baby toe?

Hi!

Wasn't sure where to post this but maybe someone here would be able to help!  Anyone else break your baby toe??  I broke mine about 6 weeks ago - never went to the doc since everything and everyone said they can't do anything.  It still hurts so I finally went today and after wasting 2 hours of waiting - I got "just tape them together".  I am itching to get back to the gym but can't wear my tennis shoes without pain.  (I think part of the problem is I walk around all day barefoot at home so have altered the way I walk so it doesn't hurt my toe.) 

So my question is - any tips on making this healing process speed up???

    Ok, you're going to think I'm a wierdo, but my dh has these shoes called Viegram 5 fingers (sp?) They're basically toe socks, except shoes.  Ugly as f*ck, but he swears by them.  Apparently it's like walking around barefoot, excpet your feet are protected...  Maybe they would help??

    Keep up your vitamins and calcium! I've broken toes before and it really hurts. But I'm pretty sure you just have to wait for it to heal!

    I've broken lots of toes b/c I'm klutzy.  I refused to stop working out/running last time so I'd ice it til it was numb  then put on my shoes & run.  It really helped tons.  There really is nothing you can do for a broken toe though to make it heal faster.

    I broke mine several years ago.  I was still in highschool and I remember the doc gave me a note not to go to gym.  But ya there is nothing you can do about it.

    ETA: And they told me to wear stiff shoes.  (so that they toe couldn't move)

    Thanks guys!  I know there really isn't much anyone can tell me - I guess I was more curious how long it had taken other peoples to heal etc.  I have been wearing flip flops since I broke it - but it's Wisconsin and that has to change soon or my feet will be really cold!  (Solid shoes were just killing my toe but I better get used to it!)
