Does Sharp Pain On Toe And Bruising Indicate Broken Blood Vessel?

I had a sharp pain in my big toe on right foot. Not bumped no sign of a bite. the pain resembled a charlie horse. lasted about 15-20 minutes. Looked slightly swollen. About an hour later a bruising appeared on outer side of foot at base of toe and between toes but not on bottom or top of the toe. No swelling. Could this be simply a broken blood vessel.
