X-ray: Get an x-ray to make sure you don't have a break in one of the bones. Bruising can sometimes be indicative of a fracture

Caution: Sorry. Not able to tell you if your toe is fractured from your brief description. Not certain from what you describe what exactly the mechanism of injury was. If the problem involves your big toe that is of more concern. It seems at the very least you sprained your toe. Problem likely to get worse if you run on it in 2 days. See your physician for exam.
