I stubbed my pinky toe on the wall. it turn purple & red and swelled up. what should i do?

Don't punt....: I did the same thing on a house post. I ended up breaking it. There is not much you can do for a broken little toe other than ice, rest and wear the most comfortable shoes. It may get better in 3-5 weeks. If not, find a Podiatrist for an evaluation.
