Goll Darn-it.: Swelling, pain and bruising are certainly classic signs of sizable trauma to the toe.

The question of a fracture can be answered soon enough, the main thing now is to minimize swelling and pain. Stabilizing the toe by splinting it to the adjacent one will help. An x-ray will find FX
