A member asked:
How should i walk so that i can avoid further damage to my broken toe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protect the toe: Medical supply stores may carry shoes that offload the forefoot. The weight when you walk should be taken up by the heel. A shoe with a stiff sole may also be helpful. I would recommend seeing a podiatrist. They can ensure that the broken bone heals correctly.
