Broken Toe at Work: Return-to-Work Advice & Recovery

Question
Past Thursday i ran over my toe at work with a wheelchair(I work at a nursing home).On Saturday I went to OPD and a Xray showed that it was fractured.The doctor told me it was safe to continue to work.I explained to him I work 12hr shifts but he said I should wear sandals to work in where I can not get a shoe on my foot.My question is should I at least take a week for some of the swelling and pain to leave before I return to work?

Answer
Yes, if you can get your foot up frequently or lay down with your foot up on a pillow or two for 30 minutes each 2 hours you are up to decrease the swelling and speed healing.

There is nothing to do for this type of injury except ice pack and tylenol PLUS the following:

Pain is worse and healing delayed from the omega-6 plant oil toxicity from too much poultry, chips, peanut products, flax or gluten in your diet. see http://efaeducation.nih.gov so see how bad these are for your health.

If OK with your doctors, omega-3 plant oil at 2000mg before meals and bedtime plus B-100 high potency B complex, plus 1000mg of Vit C, Calcium carbonate with Vit D, and magnesium oxide 250 mg each 4 times a day, to heal in a few weeks.
