"No depends which toe , you could strap them together. Lots of rest and keep elevated to stop swelling"
It's the second toe so doesn't impede walking too much. I did it jumping off the kids bunk bed, what a tit  |

No need to be sorry! If it had happened to someone else I would be gleefully mocking them right now, then I'd fetch them a bag of peas.  |

If it's a proper break (as in bone is cracked open) a&e now as leaving it untreated can cause serious complications. Such as clots etc

My son badly fractured his big toe recently. They strapped it to the next toe, we had to leave it like that for a week. Had to keep it elevated and avoid tight fitting shoes as much as possible.
Best get it checked  |

Broke my big toe last year feel your pain. Left it for 24 hour hours pain got to much ended up having an op and it all pined back together. Still can hardly bend it to this day. All from falling off a bed decorating  |

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |
I did my fourth toe a couple of years back. It was obviously broken from the radiating bruises the following morning.
Went to a+e, where triage agreed and said there was not to be done.
At all.
Now, admittedly a second toe might be different, but I think strapping it to the third toe should do the trick, unless it's all off at an unpleasant angle.... |

I phoned the nhs helpline and they said only to get it looked at if the pain and bruising worsens. The swelling has subsided and it's straight, but it is a bit black though. |

I've broken a few over the years (mainly nightclub related injuries) and there was never really anything they could do. Ice if there's swelling, painkillers and rest up I reckon. |

Don't put anything frozen, ice or bags of peas directly on the skin.
Put a towel over the injury and the ice on the towel.
You might be adding frostbite to the list of injuries..... |

I might have broke my thumb a few months ago, but never went to get it checked out- bit of a mistake as its only just beginning to return to normal movement , but I've got very reduced grip with that hand.
If you're still worried in a couple of days, i would suggest getting it looked at just to make sure it's set correctly and to get it strapped up and protected while it heals.....I feel your pain, quite literally  |
