super ouch !!!!
Hardly anything more painfull !!!!
The reason is that finger,and toe injuries cause the selling to be "compartmentalized"...it's trapped into small spaces that don't allow the pressure from swelling to be released/dissipated to any other space.
R.I.C.E (except compression)is the imperative.
Because of the swelling , elevation is critical. Keep in mind that every time that you put your foot down, it takes about three times longer to reduce the swelling caused by lowering your foot.
Of course, an anti-inflammatory will help if you take them mutilpe time a day for 3-4 days (use the daily maximum recommended dose ...anything less is likely to be insufficient.
"Splinting" of the toe is often used but has a variable results due to the "tourniquet" effect of the tape which increases swelling and compression and , hence pain. If you want to try this, use 1/2 inch silk or adhesive tape and tape your to to the next toe.
Walking is pain full because we push off from our great toe. Use crutches if you have to walk and wear firm soled, supportive shoes.
Doubt that a trip to the E.R. would be helpful unless your foot is injured , as well.
Hope this helps...My heart goes out to You.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

The best way is to have someone pull it hard and fast. It will hurt pretty bad when they do it, but it will feel better much faster than just letting it go. Just make sure it isn't crooked or looks anything more than a little swollen. If it does, it may be broken. If that's the case, not much can be done with it.

It won't be fast but, just put ice on it or stick your foot in ice cold water.
