How to tell if my toe is broken?

How do I tell if my Toe is broken?

• A 40lb dumbbell weight dropped off a bench on to my big toe and my toe right beside it. It landed on the mid part of my toe, connected to the foot but not right on the foot. It did cut it, and now both toes are swollen along with the top of my foot right by the toes. I can't walk on it without a limp, it's a sharp pain and I can move it though I am unable to bend it. I am trying to avoid going to the medics so any information would help.

• Answer:

  It sounds like it could be a really serious sprain almost broken. You need to go to the doctors to make sure. so if it is broken it can heal correctly and wont give you problems later.
