Hi
You might be having a phalangeal fracture going by the fact that the pain has not come down in two weeks,
Next Steps
Ideally rest and ice compression for a couple of days and soft cushioning around the toe if you use shoes and weight bearing more on your heels for the next two weeks along with a tablet named chymerol forte for three times a day for five days after food along with an anti inflammatory like aceclofenac+ paracetamol twice a day after food for five days will definitely help
Health Tips
Heel weight bearing shoes for the next three weeks which are available in surgical stores will definitely help in relieving pain while walking
