I broke my big toe once a bit climbing stairs. I stepped on the stair wrong and my toe bent backwards. It hurt, but after the initial pain shock was over it didn't hurt that bad, I could still walk on it, stc, so it didn't occur to me that I might have broken it. I figured I'd just like strained something.
A week or two later, it was still hurting and not really getting better, so I went to the doctor at the student health centre. The doctor poked and prodded and said it's not broken but we'll take an X-ray anyways. They got the X-ray and ... it was broken after all. One of the corners where two bones meet at a joint had cracked.
So they taped my big toe to the next one. No boot, just tape around the two toes.
