need to rule out Fx: See a doctor or go to the er, have the toe x rayed and you will know. If the meantime rest, elevation and ice can be helpful.

Have it evaluated.: To find out if it is fractured or not, you will need to have it professionally evaluated. You will need x-rays taken to determine if it is broken or if it is just a bruise or sprain. If not broken and if you have continued pain, you may need a MRI to see if you have a soft tissue injury.
