So i think its broken its huge and purple and shit and kinda twisted (not sure if its from the swelling)

ive broken a lot of toes, sure the hospital could make a little splint or something, theres no need for it though.

They will set it if its displaced then tape it. You can do both at home.

I broke my left ring finger a while ago at a party and thought at first it was dislocated so I tried to set it myself and couldn't (physically couldn't pull it that hard due to swelling) So I had my cousin set it for me. Taped it up and other then it having some ugly scar tissue its fine.

I broke my toe last year,and went to the hospital to have it set, then I found out I had torn the ligament leading to it, got surgury and was out for like a month.

The only problem is getting broken toes into ski boots. Sorta just gotta man up, wear tight socks, and shove your foot into your boot without rocking your broken toe.

I went to the hospital when I shattered my big toe in to 12 different pieces a few years back. They took xrays, said "yep, it's broken", gave me a walking boot, gave me a script for some vicodin, and sent me home. If anything, just go see your family doc. I wouldn't waste the money on the ER.
