Yes, I broke my little toe years ago and went to the ER. All they can do for the little toe is wrap it. That's what they did for me.

I know how you must be feeling.l Back in February, a can of food fell out of the cabinet on the top of my foot. It got black and blue and hurt, but finally went away. Then in May my foot started to hurt and swell and got all inflammed. I saw three doctors, internist, rheumatologist, and an infectious disease doctor. They were all baffled, the x-ray showed nothing. Then they treated me for gout, although my uric acid was fine. I also took two antiobiotics over this period. Finally, they did an MRI and found that my foot was fractured and already starting to heal. But it was still inflammed and swollen. They sent me to physical therapy for four weeks and I have to say that it is better. I have to see the doctor again in two weeks. It still hurts some and I surely hope it gets completely better soon. I also hope that your little toe is on the mend soon.
