Answers:
I think that it's rather more likely that you have "turf toe!." That is a common injury among soccer players!. What happens is that the joint capsule and ligaments get torn!. I have a link below!.

Here's what I would do!. Ice initially, then heat afer 2 - 3 days!. Wear good supportive shoes like hiking boots or walking shoes with a rocker bottom sole!. That's so the you don't have to extend the toes as you step off!. Get an X-Ray if you like, but unless you se an obvious deformity or angulation, the treatment will be the same as I just described!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is nothing you can do for a broken toe, other than wearing flip flops and not kicking bumps in the ground for the next 6 weeks!. I broke my big toe snowboarding and went to the hospital and basically they told me to just be careful with it and take something for the pain!.!.!.

Sorry, good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think i broke a toe once, it hurt to bend for a few weeks and now is a little crooked, lol
there's not much to do but since it's your big toe, if it still hurts for a few more days i would tell your parents and you might need it checked
if not, don't worry about itWww@Answer-Health@Com
