Especially-bad stubbed toes often result in a fracture (a break in the toe's bone). In this case, it's usually necessary to receive an X-ray, cast, or foot brace. Signs of a fracture include: An audible crack or pop at the time of injury. A toe that visually appears bent, kinked, or crooked.
You will probably still be able to walk, but moving around might make the pain worse. The presence of pain does not necessarily mean that the toe is broken, but persistent pain can be an indication of a fracture or break. 1  If putting weight on your toe is excruciatingly painful, you might have a bad break. 2  Tingling in addition to pain could indicate a break rather than a fracture.
