Hello and welcome to HCM,
Currently you have fractures the phanygeal bone of your big toe.
The fracture needs to be managed by cast for minimum of three weeks.
The muscle weakness that you are experiencing can be due to rhabdomyolysis.
Immobility of the lower limb will help to resolve both the problems.
thanks and take care
