The only way to be certain a bone is broken is by getting an X-ray. Toes can be severely injured without breaking - there are lots of ligaments, tendons, and joints in a toe which can be damaged. If you want to be certain, get an X-ray.

While toes may often seem better after a time, blood vessel or other damage could cause serious complications. If it hurts for more than a day or two, or especially if it hurts more, see a physician right away.

How often do you break your little toe?

In a year, you do not actually have to break your toe, you break your toe only if you're careless. I have never broken my toe, and I am 29. There are rumours that you break your foot at least 14 times a year. I'm a doctor and I know that, that is nonsense.
