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.
Unless your toe is in fact broken, a stubbed toe should usually completely resolve in a matter of a couple of hours. Occasionally a worse stub may take 24-48 hours. If pain persists after this, then the toe may be broken or there may be blood under the nail causing pain (seen as a dark patch or bruise under the nail).
