Get it checked now: How do you know you broke your bone in the bone of your small toe.It seems you ignored an injury to your 5th toe which might have been fractured and we don't know if it was simple fracture which might have needed xrays and appropriate treatment.At this stage I suggest you consult your doctor or a podiatrist and get it checked and treated appropriately
