That sucks dude!
That's what I would do. I definitely wouldn't waste my time with a doctor's visit.

I jammed a finger really good last year and did absolutely nothing, now it has a permanent curve to it and I cannot straighten it out. Minimum I would do is splint it straight and duct tape it to the toe next door.
Do we dare ask how this happened?

My only broken bone so far... tape to toe next to it. I also had one of those boots that velcro on - the rigid sole kept it immobilized and made walking tolerable again.

tape it to your other toe...
I wish i had some interesting story but all i did was drill it into a wooden chair in the dark last night.
Come up with a better story, and there better be booze involved!

Looking at his signature I think it was the same yesterday, could he possibly have had a dry night?
What a wuss. I think you should run to your mommy so she can kiss it and make it all better.
No, I don't think so. The pain from the toe probably made him forget to update his sig...

This should do it!
Or just some athletic tape and some shoes with a loose fitting toe box area the next couple of weeks

Tape it to next toe. The only toe that they will do anyhting for is the big toe, which provides balance.

i broke my big toe last summer. taped it to the neighbor and was running (with pain) on it a week later. in retro i probably should have had it looked at. it is now shorter than it was and i still feel pain if it bends too much.

Broke my right big toe several years ago...just did the tape thing and kept walking on it, didn't think it was worth going to the Dr. for. No pain, balance, or mobility problems but I may have just been lucky.

Get Brownsville's MANseuse to take a look at it.

About 10 years ago, I broke the bone behind my big toe (the 1st metatarsal) when I ended up planting my foot really awarkwardly after stepping on a sewer grate while running. At the time I was in my residency at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford. I talked to a couple of orthopedic surgeon friends of mine, who after looking at my foot, and the x-ray we took of it, basically told me the following: If I did nothing, and tried to take it easy on it for a couple of weeks, it would more than likely hurt like hell when I landed on it the wrong way for about a week or so, and then slowly get get better over the next month or so. If I opted for surgery on it to have a couple of screws placed in the bone, it would more than likely hurt like hell when I landed on it for about a week or so, and then slowly get better over the next month or so
Pretty much as long as a toe isn't broken at some funky angle, chnaces are with out and repetitive heavy landing on it for a couple of weeks, it will heal and things will be fine. The key though is you need to give it a chance to heal
