Did u bang your : Whole foot? Are you walking differently due to the toe fracture that could of caused shoe rubbing or something of the sort? How was the fifth toe treated? Was the toe wrapped? Or the forefoot?

Get it RICED.: It sees that this bruising is either an undiagnosed problem directly related to you toe injury last week or a new injury. If it is a new injury, it has probably developed because your foot is compensating from the broken toe. Either way, maybe you should treat it as a new injury and get it RICED. Rest it, Ice it, apply mild Compression to it, Elevate it and get to a Doctor and end all doubt.

BRUISE/SPRAIN: You hit your toe against something hard enough to break it. My guess is, you hit the rest of the foot hard also, but didn't notice it because the toe hurt so much. Now it's badly bruised. Sincerely, Dr. Latva
