Depends on where small bones can take from 10 to 14 days, depending on where on the foot it is, if its a toe, all they can do is tape it to the next toe, and if in lots of pain see a Dr. keep ice on it and keep it raised. Good luck .

3 months and a lot of rest Bone spurs develop around degenerative joints, on the foot when tendons or ligaments calcify at the bone attachment and through damage to the bone area. A common bone spur on the foot often develops when the plantar fascia, a foot ligament running on the bottom of the foot, stretches over time. Preventative measures help reduce the occurrence of some bone spurs.

Things You’ll Need: Special splint Anti-inflammatory medicine Heel inserts Stiff shoes gh heels Step1 Know what caused the bone spur to begin proper healing by having a doctor diagnose the condition. Step2 Rest and elevate your foot as much as possible and wear a special splint when sleeping. This keeps the foot in position through a slight stretch and recommended for heel spurs.

Step3 See a doctor for anti-inflammatory prescription or cortisone treatment. These medicines reduce pain and inflammation around the joint area. Step4 Lose weight if needed to reduce the amount of downward pressure on the feet.

Step5 Wear firm heel inserts in your shoes for heel spurs and stiff soled shoes for toe spurs. Buy inserts at any drugstore or medical supply store and see your doctor for special shoes. Step6 Put on shoes with higher than normal heels to reduce the stress on the heel and tendon.

Step7 Exercise the Achilles tendon through stretching the tendon to reduce stress at the heel. Tips & Warnings Bone spurs form over time. Surgery removes the spur when needed.

Pain management and reducing the cause remains a common healing method. Apply ice and heat to the painful heel area only after a doctor's recommendation. Certain people with diabetes and other conditions causing insensitivity to temperature need to ask the doctor before applying this healing treatment.

Flat feet needs special shoes for better arch support. Jog on softer surfaces and wear proper fitting shoes helps prevent plantar fasciitis that's associated with heel bone spurs. Bone spurs develop osteophytes around degenerative joints.

2 See this link:webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/toe-foot-and-ank... totally disagree w/ the first answer. It takes waaaay longer than 10-14 days to heal a broken bone. It actually takes several weeks.

Also, you should see a dr to get an X ray to see if the break is displaced, near a joint or if there are fragments. Although unusual, it does happen....and if that is the case, surgery MAY be needed. As to the healing time of ligaments.

Again we are talking weeks.....but it is widely variable. It depends on if the tear is minor vs. complete, location, etc. If the tear is significant and at a critical area (e.g. Ankle), surgery MAY be needed. See a podiatrist or orthopedist.
