Arnica, and big boxy toe'd shoes. Keep icing it daily, and also in between standing for a long time. Sorry, that's terrible. Poor little toes.

Well I'd do as much as one could of the normal suggestions for sprains or strains...

Rest - Sit, take a load off!
Ice - as often as possible, possibly arnica or a pain relieving gel?
Compression - may be a mistake in this instance! I'm for protective footwear as Breathe suggests!
Elevation - when you sit & take a load off, put that foot up!


Wishing you a speedy recovery!

No further tips, but a ((hug)) as that has been one of my biggest fears too. I love volleyball and have always played at our family get togethers but I won't anymore because now that I'm so worried about it, I'm sure to break a finger or two. :roll:
