Beginner Are injuries this common?

Month 2 of judo since I picked it up with no martial arts experience.

Right now I have:

-cracked right toe bone (<not broken in half, just cracked> completely my fault, tried for a ko uchi and accidentally full force kicked my opponent in the shin)

-pain in left calf

-pain in right ankle

-lower back pain (from being slammed onto the tatami going up against a 100+ kg opponent)

-bleeding fingers

-pain in finger joints

-pretty sure I heard my right shoulder pop today trying for a tai otoshi and I lost all power in my right arm for a good 5 minutes, is back to normal now though

-pain in high left rib cage

Obviously have started taping my fingers and toes, and yes I have my cracked toe splinted and I am making sure to rest it and not agitate it. I am taking practices off recently to make sure it heals.

Just wanted to see if these types of injuries are common and typical in progression.

would judo be more dangerous/injurious than wrestling?
