Sorry to hear you are in so much pain. I did the same thing years ago, in fact I broke both little toes and the same one again. They can't do anything for a broke toe.....except send you a hospital bill. Just tape the toes together(for support), wear a wide shoe, try a ice pack to reduce swelling. It will get better soon, maybe a month if that long. And most important from now on WEAR SHOES at all times!

thanks LOL
