I have had headaches all week and I have been sick to my stomach a couple of days. It was a sharp pain when it stung me. I thought maybe it was just a sudden sharp pain in my toe. It stung me in the morning and it did not even bother me until that evening. Then it was pink on half of my big toe and it was so painful that I could not even touch my toe. When is a trip to the doctor in order. It is no longer sore or pink.

I actually lecture on this subject.
In the US, assuming that you are, there is only one kind of dangerous scorpion -- the bark scorpion (Centruroides sculpturans) it lives in Arizona & New Mexico. They are generally found on trees and bark. They sting with a dangerous neurotoxin. It may cause respiratory compromise within 30 min (mostly in kids).
Contrary to popular myths, most species of scorpions are harmless - the sting is similar to a bee sting with only local reaction. Like bee stings, allergic reactions are generally considerred the worst complication.

If you have no problems in paying the medical bills, than I'd say go ahead and get it checked out. Otherwise if you're still alive, than the chances are that you're going stay alive.
Some scorpions are poisonous, and some are not. Some inject a lot of poison when they sting, and some will not. If you recovered on your own than chances are that your immune system is strong enough to overcome the poison, and you will be alright.
