What happens if I run before my broken toe heals?

[@hypnotechno]

You use the term fracture and break interchanges

I have a (suspected) fractured little (pinky) toe. I have rested it for 3 weeks now. How soon do you think I can run? I could actually run now, but pain is still 2/10 if I try. Should I just wait a little longer? I smacked it into some swimming pool steps 3 weeks ago. It was swollen for 1 week, then swelling went and 80% of pain left. Now this 20% won't shift. Should I just wait a little longer?

Thanks for watching and sorry to hear about your toe! I cannot make a recommendation unless I know more about you, the specific mechanics of the injury, your course of recovery etc. If you wanted to jump on a call we can certainly do that but I can't make a recommendation just based on the information provided.

You should really get that toe checked..
