I would like to know if my pinky toe is broken, sprained etc. i stubbed it yesterday, there was a very minor cut it does not hurt, i put neosporin on it. But my toe, whenever i push it to much it hurts. I played soccer with it, it didnt really bother me that much, but afterwards it still hurt. It also hurts when walking a bit. What should i do?

If sprain is of 1st level (mild) and recent, Ice application and immobilisation with adjacent finger (tapping) will help. Some filling in shoes could be beneficial to protect and continue playing. If pain is aggravating, stop movement of toe and give proper rest.
