You can spend the money to see a doctor and have X-rays taken, but the doctor will tell you then that there is nothing he can do for your toe. When I used to work in the ER, many times the doctor would take adhesive tape and tape the broken toe to the next good toe to stabilize it. You can try the tape method.

The only thing they will tell you if it's really broke and then tape it to the toe next to it. My hubands got a real nasty looking black bruise at the base of the toe. Went to hospital and they told him yes it's broke and no we cant do anything but tape it to the toe next to it. So they put a popicle stick in between his toes and taped it up. It took 3 weeks to heal.

i would say wait it out for a little bit more and if it still hurts then go see a docter.
good luck!!!!!
