Answers:
This just happened to me last month! The end of the sofa just jumped up and laid the smackdown on my toe. This is what my doctor told me (without doing any x-rays)-

It may not be broken, it may just be sprained. Either way the treatment is the same. Just get some cloth tape or medical tape and tape it to the next biggest toe (just like what mel said). Use a little bit of cotton in between them so they don't rub.

Good luck! I know it hurts, but it gets better faster than you think. I used some IcyHot (or something similar) to numb the pain a little. I actually used it on my whole foot, and within 2 weeks I was pretty much back to normal.

tape it up to the next toe and favor it. it will take about 6-8 weeks to heal.
