Have i broken my toe?
Discussion
I managed to trip last night and catch my foot under the sofa!
My foot made quite a “crack”
My little toe is now incredibly painful and gone a bit purple...
I am having to limp a bit which is not very practical..
Do we think i have broken my little toe?
If so will it mend itself on its own?
And how long should this take?
Cheers

I'm not doctor but I have broken toes on multiple occasions, and that looks very much like a broken toe.
The first few times I went to casualty and they X-rayed it to check I hadn't done any other damage and then strapped it up. For the little toe they'll likely tape it to the next toe with a bit of gauze in between, and tell you to take paracetamol.
The most recent one I skipped the hospital part and immobilised it myself. Two weeks of that and it should be OK.
