My toe was pointed and rolled forward after an attempted volleyball block, jumping as high as I can, so it sprained both sides at once. I now have unanimous consent from co-workers and family that I should see a doctor, but have agreed that if the swelling does not go down tomorrow, or its painful after a week, then I need to see a sports orthopedic doctor. I have heard too many bad stories of people ignoring it and doing irreparable damage. Still, I think waiting a few days to see if its a normal sprain wont hurt as long as I am gentle with it. I may post my situation and progress on a post, because I have learned a few thing about what I have done wrong and right.
