Answer 1

You probable hurt the tendons inside the toe itself my husband hit his

toe while back and took while heal his toe also and it hurt for bit try

taking pain medicine and be careful on your feet while til heals.

Answer 2

Assume its broken.  I am going to save you a lot of money..LOL

All the doctor will do if it is broken is tell you to take Advil for the pain.  He will also buddy tape it, which you can do.  Take some medical tape, and tape the toe to the one next to it.  That is all he will do, and that will cause it to heal.

Answer 3

If it is fractured then depending on how severe it is you might require surgery.  You might want to go to an orthopedic doctor to get it checked and have xrays done to make sure it is nothing serious.
