2nd opinion now-: -you could very well have a compartment syndrome, which is a very urgent problem.

With a crush: injury, compartment syndrome is possible. If there is continued pain out of proportion, pain with extension of the toes and swelling it can be an emergency. I would definitely get it looked at right away... either from the same doctor and/or a 2nd opinion! Get better soon!
