Whacked my little toe off a stone on a decent over a week ago, v sore and bruised for a few days, swellings gone down but it's still all hurty. Defo not broken but maybe fractured? Should I do the man thing and just wait for it to heal?
My little toe!
Oh the perils of Enduro.....

Get it fixed, you'll thank yourself when your eighty and it hasn't seized up or is causing you chronic pain.
What Alfie said!
Ah sure its grand! Don't do anything till after the spin on Sunday :)
If it's broken ( fractured ) you can do nothing for it but keep it stable. Put a plaster around the toe and the next one.
It's probably very badly bruised. Ice it a lot. Take anti-inflammatory's if you need them.
Otherwise......**** all else

Buddy tape doesn't really work for toes, if it is a fracture, and depending on where it is, they will sometimes put you into an air cast boot for 4-6 weeks. If its tolerable and you are still walking on it, id say reduce the amount of walking and take some anti inflams
Mmm, might be no harm to get it looked at, not before the Sunday spin though! Would I have to sack the spd's and use flats if I get an air cast boot!?
You would have to give up all biking! Would be like having a cast on
