Going to the gym with a broken toe?
Hello, I wanted to ask what the situation is with sports and a broken toe (in my case it's my big toe).
So, I know that leg training, at least on one side, is out of the question for now, of course, but after about four or six weeks, or once the worst of it has healed, will I be able to put full weight on my toe again, or will it take several months before I can do things like standing/seated calf raises and leg presses again?
My previous strength values on the Hammer Strength machines were:
Leg press: 350Kg 12x
Standing calf raises: Maximum 200Kg 15x
Will I be able to get anywhere close to those values again in the near future? (Probably no one can answer that)
Key question:
When can you fully bear weight on your (big) broken toe again? (Or, approximately, when can you begin to put more weight on it?)
The doctor's answers are always the same: "No sports."
Thanks to all of you in advance
So I let patients wear a dressing shoe in such a case and they can do everything possible with such a shoe. For example, leg training is quite possible if you first load the heel. Full load without the shoe usually after 5-6 weeks (after X-ray control, whether the break is well cured).
Best regards

Thank you so much, on such an answer, I waited!
3 months at least without a large footprint.
Exercise up to everything the feet load everything.
You should explain that to yours.
