Antiinflammatory med: If recommend getting it checked out with imaging, but get antiinflammatory medication (if you don't have any contraindications) to help with swelling. Hope it all turns out better.

Please get checked: 1200lbs pressure is quite a bit for little toes to take and although they probably are fractured, to what extent is something you want to know. Make sure you get an xray to determine how extensive the fracture is and to evaluate for a crush injury. Not only are the bones damaged with this kind of trauma, but the nerves and vessels as well. Don't try to treat this on your own...Get checked.
