swollen and painful pinky toe

i broke my little toe on my right foot this last summer it is still swollen and very painful i cannot wear any shoes that put pressure on it for more than a couple of hours without it hurting really bad

Hi,

Since it has now been about eight months since you fractured the toe, and it is still swollen and pain, it is probably going to need medical attention.
I would make an appointment with a podiatrist who will xray it to see to what extent the break either healed or partially healed or did not heal at all.
Based on his/her findings will determine what kind of treatment you can be offered.
