Likelihood of it being a broken bone?

Just got up to make dinner, opened the fridge door and one of the shelves in the door collapsed, it had three full jars of pasta sauce in it that fell directly on to the top of my foot. Luckily only got a slight cut from the glass but I now have a big hard lump on the top of my foot that's not there on the other one. I can touch it and it's not too painful which is making me think it won't be broken but it hurts to walk on it. Can't go to a&e tonight as dh is at work and I'm on my own with two dc. Obviously if it's still there in the morning I'll get it looked at but has anyone ever had similar? Apologies for the pic as I'm sure no one wants to see feet but I was trying to get a pic of where the lump is Blush

A jar of mayonnaise falling out of the fridge broke my toe

@healthybychristmas I have currently got some ice on it and am resting on the sofa. Hoping the lump will go down and it won't be something I need to get checked tomorrow!

That sounds incredibly painful. Do you have any frozen peas you can put on top of it? Are you able to rest it for the evening?
