I impressed a doctor by actually breaking a heal spur and never noticing it.\n\nIt's actual the plantar tendon that is inflamed, not the spur itself(being bone).  This usually happens when the tendon is stretched too much.  \n\nA good way to manage this is to keep the plantar tendon and the achilles tendon stretched out.  The achilles tendon connects the heel to the calf, and it it tightens up, it can play tug of war with the plantar tendon over the heel.\n\nA couple of good stretches for this area:\n1.  Put yourself about arm's length from a wall and place both hands on the wall.\nPut one foot behind you just far enough back that the heel isn't on the floor.\nPush the heel back with your arms till you feel a stretch. Hold for 5-10 seconds and release the stretch.\nRepeat with the other foot.  \n\n2.  Stand on a stair tread with only the balls of your feet on the stair.  Make sure you have something to hold on to.\nLower your heels until you feel the stretch.  Hold at least 5-10 seconds and release.

I am so glad you asked.\nEpson salt and really hot water-soak your infected foot. If you get them concurrently like I had in the past, go to the podiatrist, have him to a procedure on you that consists of numbing your toe up, cutting the nail off, jabbing huge q-tips with a chemical called phenyll on them down  into your  sides of the toe, and wrapping them up and wabam, ur done. Umm, I made that sounds REALLY painnful, but it is not at all, I watched the whole thing conscious, but then again, I was numbed up. Have fun, andif  you have any further questions email me at lawguy04_1984@hotmail.com... :-)

Yes, soak in water.\nClean any effected areas.\nCut nail STRAIGHT across.\ntake a little (VERY little) bit of cotton from a cotton ball, put UNDER (yes this will hurt) the part of the nail that wants to grow down into the toe, and repeat EVERY night, until the nail is trained to grow upward. Then, never, ever, cut toe nails any way except straight across.

Tap on the end of your finger.  If you have "shooting" pain that could indicate a possible fracture.  You may also want to worry about your flexor tendon being ruptured.  You cannot flex your finger at all at the distal joint?  This concerns me more that a fracture.  Go see the Doctor.  Also real quick....when you press down on your finger nail of the injured finger, it should go white as the blood is squeezed out and should See if this happens.  It should.  Good luck.

Make sure you always rebound and tumble on your toes. I know it may sound silly but try walking on your toes all the time next practice.  It strengthens them really well.  If they continue to hurt see a doctor.  Ice and stretching helps mega well.\n\n(please vote me as best answer)

If your serious,ask a trainer.It sounds as if you do not have much experience.You also need gloves,with wrist protection.You can easily break your wrist if it is not supported correctly.

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and believe it or not we go through first aid training. I am also St John Ambulance trained so when i tell you to go to the hospital for an X Ray you should believe me. Many complications can arise from a break that is not treated.If you foot is broken you will have a very large swelling, it will be very painfull and you not be able to move to move your toes very easily.There a 3 types of fractures-open-closed and complicated.If it isn't broken then keep an ice pack on it to reduce the swelling and ease the pain and the inflammation. Wintergreen ointment will not help, you need 'witch hazel' lotion or lavender oil 3 drops in 5ml of olive oil.(unless your skin is broken) And keep the foot up for a few days.\n\nGloria (BSYA)

I am such a klutz and have broken all of my toes, except for my big toes.  I have a sofa that has a hide a bed in it, so whenever I try to move "the beast", I break a toe....or just walking past it I walk right into it.  Thankfully, that sofa is leaving me in a couple of weeks! \n\nAnyway...it hurts, no doubt about that.  The discoloration (purple, yellow, green) will take a few weeks.  For the pain...Tylenol extra strength and only wear shoes when you have to...I recommend flip flops right now or open toed.  Don't try jamming your toes into athletic shoes or formal wear shoes.  It's only going to take longer to heal.  I have been there! \n\nAs for your husband....if it's not broken, it's probably badly sprained.  I would suggest loosly taping it to it's neighbor or ice.  Also, only wear shoes when you have to.  If he really wants to know if it's broken, see a podiatrist or your primary care physician.  Hope that I have helped.

Stand on a step on the balls of your feet and your heels hanging over.  Hold on to the handrail for support. Let your heels drop down slowly then lift them up and stand on your toes as high as you can then slowly let your heels down again..  Repeat 15 times, rest for a minute or two, repeat and rest again.  Do two sets a couple of times every day and increase to three or more sets.  Make sure you've had lots to drink so you don't get leg cramps.  And remember to stretch too.  :o)

First off, if any of part of your body hurts, you should tell your mom or dad.\nThen, if it hurts really bad, you should go to the doctor. All you have to do is follow the directions the doctor says. For example, if he or she tell you that you can't play in a sport for 5 weeks. Ok then if you want you can e-mail me if it is getting better. As home remedies, you can pull your toe a little at a time maybe 5-7 times a week.\n\n                                                  A normal dude, \n                                                               bballfreak61296
