Sounds like it might be, but it would be best to get it checked out. I broke my 'pinkie' toe, and there was nothing they could do about it, it just had to heal on it's own, but I am not sure if that is true for all toes.

If it's broken, there's nothing you can do except ice, rest and anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen, but if it's dislocated, that might be treat-able. I'd go to the ER.

Take 2 aspirins
Stay off of it
Apply Ice
Keep elevated
That's what doctors told me. They say in most cases there is nothing they can do. If the pain becomes unbearable, please seek attention
