I bumped my small toe more than 3 months ago. it is stil very painful on the side of my foot and there is a big calus like bone forming on the side. could i have broken it?

Probably yes: Small toes are often broken in cases like you describe. The problem would be due to poor shoe fit and further irritation or infection of the same toe. You should see a doctor to determine if the callous is related to the fracture, and if the malpositioned toe either needs an accommodative shoe or repair itself. Do not avoid getting this checked out professionally as the downside risk is great.
