No Respect
Okay, it could just be me, but I'm finding it really hard to take a broken toe seriously. I don't know why. I've actually broken both pinkie toes in the past, and maybe it happened so long ago that I have forgotten what it was like, but I'm having a bit of trouble believing that the smallest bone on my next-to-smallest toe can hurt as much as any other bone, and that it would not for any bizarre reason heal faster than all my other bones. Go figure.

It's all to do with the time of year.
If you consider everything you are planning to accomplish by the time Christmas Day comes around, it is probably not at all surprising that you have no patience with the afflicted toe.
The brain dulls the memory of past pain. Also, the foot flexes when you walk. Would it be excessively silly of me to ask if you have been staying off the foot?
(I slammed a finger in a file cabinet a few years back--probably broke it--the pain was agonizing and it took weeks to heal. So I do not for a minute think it is unreasonable for a toe to hurt that much.)
