I suffered from this years ago when I started my first year of marching band.  Make fun if you want, but marching band is hard work.  You do so much walking, and not normal walking either.  They taught us what they called the roll-step, which reduces the bounce in your walk, and involves pointing your toe way up in the air as you start your stride, thus stretching the calf muscle.  This was my first year of doing this, and doing it repeatedly for a few days caused me so much pain on the front of my right calf muscle that they put me on crutches the rest of the week.  After the worst of it healed, I would from the on wrap my leg from the bottom of my knee to the ankle with an ace bandage to try and support my calf and keep everthing "tight" while marching.  It still bugs me to this day if I do anything to strenuous, especially on hard surfaces, with that leg.  I was also suggested a little exercise which helps also with sore ankles.  Pretend your toe is the tip of a pen, and write the alphabet in cursive in the air with your toe.  Sound silly, but try it.

Rinse and rinse with water-eventually it will have to dislodge  blink and flush,blink and flush and so on .  If its really gritty and is hurting after so long a time and still there  go to a Medical Clinic-have all the equipment necessary and cheaper than Emergency

Try rest, and elevate the foot with ice and maybe look into going  to see a therapist to help you through this.

Take a Dixie cup or some other small paper cup and put water in there and freeze it.  After you get back from the run, grab the ice and tear of the paper a little ways to uncover the ice.  Then use it to massage your ankles and shins.  This really helps stop the swelling and inflamation and thus the pain.  Popping a few Advil can also help get rid of the inflamation.  Try running on grass.  It's softer and absorbs more of the force.  Also go out to a running store and have them help you pick out shoes.  I remember walking into one once and they had me take off my shoes and walk in front of them.  They came back with a pair of shoes the fit my high arches perfectly and gave me the right amount of support.  It was pretty amazing and it did help my shin splints get better.  If you find that the right shoes, grass running, and ice massages don't help, you may actually have stress fractures.  Give it a few weeks to see if the pain goes away.  If you still have it, and it hurts to even walk, go into your doctor for an xray.  Before I got really good shoes I had shin splints so bad that I was actually getting really close to tearing through my tendions.  At least that's what my doctor said.  Hope that helps!  Oh, and one last thing, never ignore the pain.  It means that your body needs to recover and heal.  I used to just "walk off" most of my injuries, including pulled muscles in my back.  I ended up doing a lot of damage to my body and I can't run anymore.  I'm only 23 and was a competative sprinter for 6 years.  I cant even take a lesurly jog anymore.  Not to feak you out, but take care of yourself!

Massage the areas that are in pain, and apply heat. Whatever you do, do NOT apply cold or the muscles will tighten there and cause even graeter pain. A relaxing bath may help, as well as normal exercise. Hope it helps!

I am going through the same thing right now.  You can try swishing warm water with a little bit of salt in it anytime it starts to hurt, extra strength tylenol, and try putting heat or cold on it.  Heat seems to work for me but it may be different for you.

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do for a sprained or broken toe.  I know, I've broken the same stupid toe 4X.  Best thing to do is what you're already doing.  Keep putting ice on it no more than 20 minutes at a time (skin can freezer burn) with at least 40 minutes of no ice in between and stay off your foot as much as possible.\nFeel better!

First put an ice pack on it, this will keep the swelling down. If you insist on skating wrap it tight but, you could compound an injury so, I wouldn't. Go see an ER and have an X-Ray, see if there's any permanent damage then follow the doctors directions.

Are u sure it's not broken?  You may need an xray to find out and/or to see if something else is going on.  If it's not something major, then alternate ice packs, with hot whirlpools -- first 20 minutes ice, then 20 minutes hot whirlpool right afterwards.  Try it a few times if you can find the time b4 then.  Keep the leg elevated whenever possible too.  And get rid of all the topical stuff as that's not going to do anything.   You need to get the swelling down as much as possible (ice is the best thing for that) and give it a rest.  Ibuprofen works for swelling too.  As for the Saturday tournament, if you are allowed to, wrap and/or tape the affected area during the event. Good luck!

You could try taping it to another toe so as to not move it so much, the less movement the less pain, I have broken that toe too, now its not straight anymore, and I am glad its healed cos it doesnt half hurt, it takes about three months before you can walk on it all day with out pain. Sorry for you girlfriend.

Sounds like plantar fasciitis.  May be related to poor circulation, or poor fitting/supporting footwear.  If you don't smoke or have a problem with GI bleeding or PUD or NSAIDS, or have other co-morbities, you might want to try using ibuprofen for pain.  You might also want to discuss this problem with your primary care doctor.

rest elevate ice. i deal with this day in day out. massage is great what i get my clients to do is get a golf ball and roll it down the leg next to the shin. it breaks up the scar tissue there. i would suggest to stop running until u get it better. it wont go away on its own

Sounds like shin splints.  You probably don't need to go to the doctor.  You should stay off your feet awhile, and use a cortisone cream on them.  Take an anti-inflammatory med, unless you have any medical condition which would make that unwise.  If they don't feel better with 3-4 days of relative ease, go to the doctor.  \nIf you're going to play softball and tennis regularly, make sure you're wearing good shoes that are designed for those specific uses, and stretch beforehand.
