You really need an x-ray to determine if you have a fracture in your toe. Pain from a fracture or a torn ligament can travel to the surrounding areas. Doctors can't to do much for a broken toe except to tape the two toes together, using the one next to it as a splint. It's easy. Put a piece of cotton between your big toe and the one next to it and tape the two together. This will prevent your big toe form moving when you walk and can help in the healing. If you have anything else wrong, x-rays are the only way to see the problem. Don't ever be afraid to speak to your parents about an injury. No matter how small the injury, if it goes untreated, it can lead to more serious problems. That;s why we have doctors. Good health to you.

Sounds like a possible hairline fracture, which will heal itself in time. However, it could be something else besides that.
Depending on how sharp the pain is, it's always best to go see a doctor and make sure you're okay...if you don't want to do that, all I can say is take Tylenol/ibuprofen (or Lortabs if you have access to them) and tough it out!

Could be a pinced nerve or your feet are out of line. I had the same problem not too long ago. Went to a chiro, got an adjustment and the pain went away. I am not sure how you feel about chrios, but i would at least give them a chance.

If you're still young just tell your parents what happened, they should understand. If they don't, don't worry about it, would you rather be worried you may never be able to use your leg again or worry more about your parents finding out? Tell them and go see a doctor, it sounds like you will not get rid of that pain so easily.

Did you break it while riding or hurt it some how? You may have broken your toe in that location. If it is the toe that is broken all you can do is to tape two toes together and take and extra strength pain pill.
