toe stubbing injuries?

[everything]

yeah I'll go to the doctor, etc., etc., but just wondering if you've encountered this before.

I did one or both of these:
- stubbed my left foot little toe by hitting it into furniture and kind of yanking it outward - laterally
- wore way too narrow shoes and played soccer with a lot of cutting movements and stop/starts.

so now (for a few weeks) there is pain on the bump that is right above the little toe. hurts to the touch on the lateral side and from the top. swelling was low. no discoloration. I'm thinking I either did a hairline fracture or a sprain. haven't gone to the doctor yet as it seems to be getting better super slowly and what can you really do for that. probably will go but seeing how far RICE can get me. also, seems to help to use a toe separator and pulling the toes apart for a while.

any ideas? what could this be?

what kind of injuries have you had from simply stubbing your toe?

You broke it.

Get an X-ray to confirm and see a doctor to make sure no kind of infection is present.

thanks yeah that's what I suspect. it's gotten a lot better in a few weeks but surprisingly still hurts. gonna get scanned soon
