Nearly one-forth of all bones in your body are in your feet which provide you with both support and movement. A broken (fractured) bone in you foot-(metatarsals)or in one of your toes (phalanges) is often painful.
SIGNS:-
Pain, swelling and sometimes bruising are the most signs of a fracture.
If the pain , swelling and discolouration continue for more than 2 or 3 days see a doctor..

Im sorry , I dont have an answer to that, but I can relate to you. Yesterday I ran out my bedroom and my pinky toe slammed into my wall and bent. My mother snapped my toe straight, but now its just like yours. Im going to get an x-ray done tomorrow, you should do the same since your not 100% until you check. If it is broken, walking on it will only damage the tissue surrounding your toe, and if you don't get it fixed, assuming its broken , it'll grow incorrectly , then you'll have some serious problems. Go to a free clinic and get it checked !

if its painful when you bend it its probably broken, Ive broke two fingers and I'm currently on the third, if you go to the doctors all they will say is yeah you've seem to have broken it honest your like yeah i know that
all they recommend is take parecetaml for the pain, strap it to the other toe and try distrbuit you're weight off it when walking
i know have three odd looking fingers because of this, didnt strap two befofore and they're nasty looking but i have this one, it takes months to heal

probably broken, yeah.
I have broken my pinky toe at least three times before
and my second toe once.
it's a drag.
if it's bent over, 'strap' it to the next toe with a sturdy band-aid or gauze tape.
that's all the doctor would do to it.
and take some Advil.

yes you do-or you jammed it real well
don't see a doctor/hospital because there is nothing they can do-ice it-stay off it as much as possible and it will get better
Take it from 1 6'6" male with size 13 shoes
must have broken my little toes at least three times-each

you might have. It's surprisingly easy to break the toes, especially the little ones, and most people dont realise they have. Unless it heals all bent and crooked you'll be fine, it'll recover one way or another. Infact my brother's toe did heal bent but it never bothered him, he couldnt be asked to go and get it seen to when it happened.

you've just bruised your toe and i have done mine 6 weeks ago and last colour from black/blue is yellow /there is nothing they do for a broken toe even so you have got to see it out and it will get easier
