Can I run with a broken small toe?

It doesn’t hurt to run but I’m worried it might make it worse, prevent it from healing.

They are not interested in seeing me as it’s a small toe.

People in my club who break toes seem to carry on regardless 🤣

Thank you. That is useful to know. I’m walking on it fine and as far as I can tell it doesn’t seem to be getting impact as I run. I know best thing is to see doctor but they don’t seem keen and feels like I’m making a fuss when it doesn’t actually hurt.

Don’t think they can do anything anyway. If it doesn’t hurt then I’d carry on 🤷🏽‍♀️
