My first big toe break was the first of my four toe breaks in general. I stubbed it on an uneven tile on a swimming pool floor.

It hurt for months and I hobbled for months, probably as I didn't take weight off it. The second big toe break was last summer were it hurt a LOT at first so I needed hospital so my aunt took me up. I was put in a 'boot' type thing for two weeks and after that was fine. It depends where and when the pressure is I guess.

My pinky toe breaks didn't bother me too much. More when I was putting socks or shoes on or off it hurt than generally walking and day to day life.
