Stubbed Big Toe?: You are on the right track. Continue the icing for the first 24 hours. If you think the toe may be broken then you should seek the appropriate medical care and get an x-ray. Otherwise try to stay off the toe as much as possible. If you there is still quite a bit of pain and swelling after 7-10 days, then you should have it checked out.
