I broke my toe like a week ago and was devistated, the doctor said i cant dance for like 2-3 weeks. i was wondering if there is anyway that i would be able to make it heal faster...

The quickest way to get your toe to heal is to LET it heal. It's so frustrating to be injured (i speak from much bitter experience!!)but you will be amazed that when you go back dancing, you'll enjoy it all the more.
Two words of caution:
1)Don't rush back to dancing - you may injure it again
2)take it easy- your feet won't be at full strength for a while.

2 weeks isn't long- David Beckham was out for 6 weeks

I was out for two months when I broke my toe, the one next to the pinky toe. Keep it taped, stay off it as much as possible and be very careful not to reinjure it! Don't go back to dancing until you know it's better, and still be careful with it. Get lots of calcium...take a supplement, that's better than milk. Good luck, and my sympathies!

phil.samways is right. Let it heal. I also speak from experience - seven stitches in the hip and went dancing 4 days later. BIG MISTAKE. Rest up. Your body is busy healing itself.

Get well soon,
