I've broken two toes in my life (so far) -- the first from accidently kicking a pile of books on a late night trip to the bathroom (hurt like hell at the time, but didn't notice it was broken til the next day after walking to the beach and back -- a few miles) and the second time a few years ago when I tried to avoid stepping on a cat.

You can't do much about a broken toe except try to tape it to the toe next to it and avoid kicking anything. All an x-ray would have done was cost money and justified the doctor charging even more money.
