Turf Toe! Help!

I am fifteen years old and I am an avid runner and soccer player. During the Cross Country season and the track season I also play travel soccer after I run. In the winter I only play soccer.

From all the cutting you perform on a soccer field, I have developed turf toe in both feet. (Hyper extension of the ligament that connects your big toe to the ball of your foot)

It is extremely painful to run on and as track season has progressed I have tried to work out as best I can, but it just hurts!

I was wondering if anyone had ANY advice for more, and also could anyone suggest a good pair of running shoes for a girl with super high arches, turf toe, and a VERY narrow foot? I would appreciate ANYTHING. Thanks.
