I fancture the top part of the foot the other day, it hurts like no other pain, Dr. said 4-6 weeks to heal any home remedies I can try to get it to heal faster I would appreciate it.

Sorry to hear that! I don't know of any way to speed this up other than to keep weight off of it initially.
Sorry to hear about that Terry. Keeping off of it as much as you can would be first on my list. Not sure if there's any cast/brace that the Dr. can suggest to minimize movement. As far as the home remedies...I personally don't care much for them.

The top part of the foot being the small bones near the ankle, or the metatarsals (long bones that lead to the toes)?

Follow the doc's advice, of course, but I would think ... um ... no target kicking
for a while, no impact training ( jumping, running, jogging, etcetera), keep it elevated when you can and absolutely keep your checkup appointments.For a weight-bearing bone such as the small ones in your feet, you really don't want to mess around with pushing things at all. I have a diabetic friend who has broken the bones in her feet and (more due to the diabetes) the bones don't want to heal correctly, if at all. She'll be lucky if she ever walks right again, because during her recovery period she just wouldn't stay off of her feet!
Take good care, Terry. Keep us posted.
Stay off it, Terry. Keep a brace on it for even support. No cheap garbage either. I've been down that road a few times, and the even support of the brace helped it heal much quicker and with less pain. I'm gonna PM you a link.
Feel better, buddy!

Bummer Terry But I'm in the same boat. I injured my foot yesterday as well (breaking in a tourny). I don't think it's broke (Metatarsals of my little toe), but bruised real bad.
There's really nothing much you can do with a broken Metatarsals except becareful, and let it heal on it's own.
I hope ya feel better soon

Sorry to hear that, Terry. I know its not very "martial artist-like" to listen to Dr's advice (you're a martial artist, we can do anything) but I'd really recommend it.
Just remind me of that when I get hurt, Ok? You're in my prayer for a speedy recovery.

You might try swimming to keep in shape while away from full TKD training. I'm not a doctor, but I imagine that swimming is a safe way for you to get the cardio you will miss by being unable to run or spar.
