Ooooh, OUCH! The Dr told my son (a victim of over-zealous wall-ball) that if the toes bruise, they're probably broken because those bones are so teenie tiny. Also, the dr's will usually only buddy-tape them & maybe give you a 'boot' or air-cast.

HOWEVER...

A friend dropped a mirror on her foot and suffered pretty impressive bruising. Her Dr. buddy-taped them, but set her up an appointment for x-rays in 3 weeks JUST IN CASE she needed corrective surgery and therapy. So don't feel shy about taking those toes to the doctor if they don't feel right after a few days.
