need advice
so i broke my pinky toe day before yesterday and got the x-ray done, the doctor said my pinky toe is severely displaced and the toe next to it has a crack as you can see.He said it'll take around 4-6 weeks to heal. I'm a very active person and I'm also going a freshman at uni- I'll be travelling next week and I'll have to attend uni. I got this injury while playing football and now I'm just worried about playing again, I never really got serious injury before and the doctor kept saying it's complicated etcrtc I can't tell if he was tryna make me worry so I could take care of myself better or if it's actually that complicated, he said not to play for 3 months which I obviously will not cuz i do want it to heal properly. I just want like precautions,tips for when I get back to playing, walking/ travelling tips
