Go: Pain up into foot could be a sign of damage to the metatarsal bone which may need interventions to heal correctly. Taking great care of feet now will spare you a lot of problems when you are older.

yes: You need x-rays and possibly splinting of the toe, or if displaced fracture more aggressive treatment.
