How To Treat Severe Pain And Swelling On Big Toe?

I think I have answered my own question by reading other postings.....I dropped a heavy suitcase on my foot yesterday - inbetween my bunion and my big toe; it hurt yesterday but I could walk on it - I woke up this morning in very bad pain and iced it; but it s swelling and bruising and still very painful.....I am thinking that I should go to the ER tomorrow AM and get an x-ray - I have to be on my feet quite a bit for work over the holiday weekend :(
