Little toes and what can be done to fix them....if anything

Morning all,
Just some advice before I (maybe) waste my Doctors time. I have quite long toes and bent my little one back on my left foot quite far 4 months ago. It didn't swell or bruise but since then it's bent over to the left (and is sneaking under the toe next to it), is mostly numb and feels like it could cramp up at any second (but never has).
This is turn is causing me to 'roll' my foot over to the left when I'm walking and it's causing me ankle pain. I am prepared to go to the Doctors but is there any point? I'm thinking I've damaged the ligament, does anyone know if they may be able to do anything?
Thanks for reading,

I had foot problems this summer and I put off going to the doctor for weeks and weeks, and it got progressively worse the extent I could barely even walk round the supermarket. Fortunately I have a friend who is a physio so I went direct to her rather than having to wait for an appointment - I saw her three times and within a fortnight I was 90% 'cured'. Definitely worth seeking help.
Yay, hopefully this will sort me out (as I'm sure it wasn't broken).
I do try to avoid the Doctors at all costs as I will need to take my little boy with me (and hate putting him in a germy enviornment!) but I will go along. It's constantly bugging me otherwise I would just leave it anyway.
If they chop my leg off I'll let you know
Thanks for your replies,

Defanatly go to the Doctors, he should refer you to physio and if that doesnt work then refer you to speacialist. Do it sooner rather then later as there will be a wait for both.
Past experience, that's all. He's quite hardly against 'nursery' germs now......Doesn't help that I cannot take any time of work this side of Christmas - hence the extra caution.
I don't think its the ligament, I would expect that kind of injury to be painful.
You're one hell of a troll but i did laugh at that so fair play.
It's tragic how women's little toes end up in general, spose it is the shoes.
Yep they bring it all on themselves.
I work from home on Wednesday and as my company are kind enough to allow this I don't go to the Doctors for non-emergency things on a 'in the office' day. I also have a project to finish before Christmas (my payrise next year is partially based on this) so really cannot afford any time physically away from the office - so next Wednesday it is!
I do appreciate what you are saying though
Agreed, I always run around with nothing on my feet (so injury could have been avoided), need to get some slippers or something
Yeh but i have a serious aversion to pump shoes - so unflattering - so not sure what the answer is for them.
I think the implication is because squeezing feet into pointy shows as opposed to being bare foot.
Do you think this could be an trama injury of some type ?
Yes, bent it back to to a right-angle......Makes me feel sick thinking about it! I've strictly been a trainers/ballet pump girl for the last 2.5 years and I can't see me wearing anything else until this is sorted!
