How long for a broken toe to heal?
I was coming down the stairs yesterday when I jumped off the second to last step and landed with my big toe curled under. It hurt alot and I sort of squeezed and it made the squirting sound and pretty soon I had a big ol blood stain on my sock. I felt like Curt Schilling. Anyways, I havent really done anything for it or went to the doctors. The bleeding is coming from right below the toe nail on my big right toe. I can barely walk right now. Any advice and how long should it take to heal? I play tennis at school, so how long before I can run?

generally when a bone is broken, it takes 4-6 weeks to heal. Toes are no different, however it usually requires no casting to set. You should take it easy and judge by your pain level as to when you can participate in athletics again. Rule of thumb is if it hurts to walk, it will hurt to run as well. But if its not broken and just bruised, then you should be ok in about a week. The blood is probably just from bending the nail back when you tripped.
