Can't you see I'm in pain!!!

So last sunday i hurt my toe. 4th toe on my left foot. A took me to hospital because I couldn't weight bear and it was going numb. xray came back clear dr says those dreaded words rest and ice keep off it as much as you can. After a few days of pain getting worse not better went back to dr. off for ct scan. Came back clear. Saturday in pain hobbling along off to physio I go. Physio takes alook at it and says in all honesty I can't do much to help you.(voice in head NOOOOOOOO) I'll give you a new compression bandage for it and what I need you to do to get this better ASAP is to hot/cold bath it. so for 30 seconds in icy cold water then 30 seconds in warm water do this for 10 minutes in total 2 times a day. rest as much as you can but if you have to be on it wear a moon boot. Call in 2 weeks and leave a message to call you back and I'll see how you are going. It is now 4 days later and the pain is unbearable. I hate taking any medication let along ones that make you drowsy but i had to take something for the pain I was in tears. So the funny side to this is. Now A is back at work (he was on holidays) he and the 4 kids seem to forget that I have a VERY VERY sore foot and it hurts to move and if they all leave things around the house I can't get far. I just want my foot back to normal I can't afford to be off it this week or for up to 8 weeks I have too much to do! Guess online shopping it is. :(
