My poor toes - A&E or not

So I managed to bang into a 3kg weight in the floor this morning whilst was cleaning. Just been going about my business since. Didn’t realise how bad it was. Know there is probably little that can be done. Would you go to A&E?

@JaffavsCookie absolutely get that and know mine would be a minority opinion, plus taking current A&E etc into account. The one person I mentioned who had broken their third toe was X-rayed and just as well as that’s when they figured out it needed reset. The other person also broke their third toe, didn’t get it seen to and, as it was healing and bone being deposited, too much bone went down leading to fusion of bones further up. It had needed reset but wasn’t so they need to have surgery to remove excess bone and restructure the foot. Again, I understand most people are lucky to get by with self care. After hearing about the second person I’ve written about, I advised the first person to get theirs seen to and request if an X-ray could be done. They were lucky to get it and have their toe reset. Looked kind of okay but unhappy from the outside.
