Answers:
1. If it is along the lines of a stress fracture, you should probably wait at least 3-4 weeks to truly run hard/competitive on it. When you go back to running, you should buddy tape the toe to the neighboring toe(s) to ease the stress on the toes. If it was a complete fracture, you should wait longer.
2. You could cause further damage at the fracture site or you could spark off a pain syndrome, such as RSD .... trust me FAR worse then just waiting the 5-6 weeks for complete healing.
Either way, you should consult with an orthopedic doctor for complete evaluation and assessment of the fracture. You're 16, it's better to let this heal correctly than to face further issues down the road.Health Question & Answer
