Ask the doctor who treated you; based on their knowledge of the injury as well as any information about the nature of your job (do you sit, or have to stand to perform it) they can give you an accurate estimate of the time required for you to heal sufficiently to return to work.

i would say find person #3 dont tell them about the other 2 and see what they say.\nbe very careful before you let anyone do anything to you, and make sure you know IN DETAIL (without all the gross stuff) what is going to happen\n\ni have been off of my feet for over 3 weeks now cause i went to a place to have something removed from the bottom of my foot and i was told i would only be off my foot for one day.\n\nbe careful, just make sure you do your research online too before you go. \nand good luck!!

Depending on the location and severity of the toe fracture, the fracture may need to be reduced (put back into place) and splinted or casted. If there is an open wound near the injured toe, a tetanus shot and antibiotic medication may also be necessary. To decrease the swelling (and the pain), keep the foot raised above the level of the heart as much as possible. Prop the foot up on some pillows, especially when sleeping. Put ice in a plastic bag and apply it to the injury for 15-20 minutes every 1-2 hours for the first 1-2 days. Make sure to place a towel between the skin and the bag of ice to protect the skin. Avoid any strenuous exercise, prolonged standing, or walking.

Lis franc is the most troublesome fracture of the foot.\n3-4 months are required for recovery and healing after surgery, then 4 more months of physical therapy.

You probably broke your little toe. At the very least you probably cracked the little bone.  It will get better but takes a month or so.

Was a report made when you fell? If not when you go back to work make sure they are aware of what happened and that they file a report with home office. Then go to see an attorney and explain the situation to him.Bring your doctors statements or copies if you don't have them don't worry he will get them. He will be glad to take your case for a percentage if he feels you have one. Be sure you find an attorney who specializes in labor laws. Be sure to take the two days off that your doctor advised you to do.I believe they may only be able to deduct it off just this time only for the same incident, depending on the laws in your state. But don't make the mistake of letting them screw you over and don't worry about your new job they will have to compensate if they do you wrong. Follow the advice of your attorney. Find one who will offer a free consultation with you.

Normally one returns to work with "light duties" in order to completely heal. There is no benefit in hurrying things along and then going off work because of recurring injury.\n   Ask your doctor for light duties and get some physiotherapy. Don't forget that the damage you do to your body will be with you forever, long after you've changed jobs, and nobody will think that you were a hero for having worked a job that physically was too much for you.

You are supposed to report it to your employer, he is supposed to take you to a clinic the employer uses for work related injuries. If the employer does not report it and give the employee a copy, then the employee should report it as soon as possible to the state.

NO you need a lawyer. Or you can go back to your doctor get a statement saying a week off and then file for workers comp.

Usually just casting or splinting the bone and pain killers is sufficient. Expect to be out of commission for about 4-6 weeks.

not typically. If you were hurt on the job and reported the injury, then you will still be covered under workmans comp pending the comp injury is proven to be valid. Example: you slip and hurt your ankle at work. You report it to your manager, and go to the doctor. The doctor wants you in physical therapy for three weeks.  three days later you are fired for theft....you would still be covered under workmans comp for the duration of the injury. It is rare for someone to be terminated under workmans comp unless theft or some type of serious violation was at hand.

yes i work at a hospital...go to the emergency room or urgent care...urgent care would be less expensive....the doctor may want to drain it...at least the doctor will give you medication which will help with the pain tremendously..also he may give you crutches...
