Answers:
I am in the UK as well,It could be broken!. The Hospital/Drs wont do anything as it's your toe!. I broke mine once and it was agony! Is it bruised underneath as well!? Put plenty of ice on it if swollen and take paracetamol and ibuprofen!. If you break your finger they strap it to the next one so maybe an idea to tape it to your big toe!. Avoid wearing shoes as that will hurt like hell and try and keep off it as much as you can, I think you are supposed to elevate it so lie on the sofa, line up loads of DVD's and stick your foot on some pillows! Hope that helps a bit!

They can't do much for a broken toe!. I had one once; I didn't go to the doctor or use crutches, just gutted it out for a few weeks!. Don't waste your money at the doctor!. Take a few motrins!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
