Toe seems to be getting better slowly had problems with the nerves as foot would be cold as well as leg
But now I'm moving about more my leg seems funny like pin and needles etc no idea if it's cause I've been resting and not getting out as much trying to walk about as much as I can still limping at times

I would say about 3 possibly 4 weeks a ago stubbed toe on banister managed to go to work till last week had a app with docs she said I had broke a toe
Been off my feet since thurs (last week) getting up now and again for appointments (docs and hospital ) hospital said the same broken toe didn't send me for a X-ray noticed since the weekend my foot had been really cold and up the leg was too was told it was most likely a damaged nerve feels ok now heat wise now I'm walking about more leg feels werid as if my muscles are stiff etc plus can't move four toes on foot and get a pinching feeling above knee

Sounds like you haven't had a proper diagnosis and it's odd that you didn't have an X-ray if your doctor thought your toe was broken. I would see how it goes over the next week; use ice and take painkillers and if it doesn't improve go back to your doctor as you probably need a referral to a podiatrist.

When I had nerve damage I think it felt like pins and needles as it got better. But do get it checked out.
