Give class a miss - you risk long term damage if you train with an injury - it sets off other muscle groups as you compensate for the injured foot, even if taped up. MISS THE CLASS.

You can't get medical help over it, get some tape and tape the toe to the toe next to it and get some ibprofine in you, it's all the DRS will do as well, you need to ice it and then soak it at night after class too.

Apply cold to reduce swelling once swelling is reduced apply heat to promote healing. There really isn't much that can be done for a toe..I broke mine and they told me there was nothing that I could do. Take an anti inflammatory such as IB profen. Hope this helps.

Theres not really too much you can do, just keep up off of it as much as possible so it has time to heal and ice it to keep the swelling down and help with any pain. Other then that though you'll just have to wait till it heals on its own.

Take some Ibuprofen and ice the toe. Wrap it up and try to take it easy on that foot.

well, i had a winter break and i played dance dance revolution and i sprained my whole foot, and it was all hot and everything..what i would do is put your foot on a pillow or 2 pillows and put ice on it..or go to the hospital and get an x-ray and the doctor will also tell you what you should do!! well i hope i helped

local ice and good for pain control. not much else you can do, even if it is broke. prevent re-injury as much as possible. Wear some shoes with more space in them.....hey mayby some steel toed boots. lol

tape your toe up to the toe next to it and wear sparing gear.
