When you have a broken pinky toe you can still usually walk with the broken pinky toe.

But when you do have a broken pinky toe it may be painful to walk on that foot but you should still be able to walk.

It's recommended you get the broken pinky toe checked out by a doctor and have it fixed and the doctor can put your foot in a walking boot made for the broken toe.

But even if you don't have the broken pinky toe fixed it will usually heal on it's own.

a broken pinky toe can and will heal on it's own.

Usually there's no need to get medical attention when you have a broken pinky toe and usually just resting the foot and toe at home can allow the broken pinky toe to heal on it's own.

However if you notice any swelling or other bruising then it would be best to go to urgent care or a walk in clinic or at least see your doctor about.

You just don't want the broken pinky toe to become infected.

But even if you don't go to the doctor or get medical attention for the broken pinky toe the broken pinky toe will heal on it's own.

Most broken pinky toes heal on their own fully within 4 weeks to 6 weeks but if not you should see a doctor.
