  4. Broken pinky toe. It's healing properly?

Broken pinky toe
It was broken on Saturday. It's swollen to double in size, hot to the touch, not discolored, but there's bruising on the big toe and the middle toe. I walk about 3 miles to and from work. I'm also wearing supportive shoes and have it buddy-taped. Should I go to the ER to get it reset, or does it sound like it's healing properly?
