Two weeks ago I hit in between my fourth toe and my pinky toe on the left foot. During the impact I heard a very light popping noise, and experienced immediate swelling and pain. I tried ice for 20 minutes every hour as well as 4-200 mg of ibuprofen and the swelling has not gone down. When I step on the foot I experience a burning stabbing pain up into the ankle. I woke up today and I now have a burning feeling on the bottom side of my left foot from the pinky toe to the heel of the foot. Also I have swelling in the ball of my foot near the toes, as well as mild swelling on the top of the foot. Is it possible I broke my pinky toe and if so or even if not what should I do to relieve the pain and swelling and maybe help with support of the foot?
