I wasn't either. Mine was also not swollen, and I had almost no bruising, but the angle it stuck out at (completely gross and unnatural) after I stubbed it convinced me it was broken. I taped it to the adjacent toe following instructions I found online and was able to return to yoga after a couple of weeks, but I had to modify a lot of the moves. Wasn't doing any hiking since we were in Mexico, but walking was painful for a few weeks. Still, I did it. I made DH take our dog out for the first few days, but I couldn't stay holed up in an apartment forever, so I limped around.
I might have gone for an x-ray if we'd been in the US, but in Mex. I knew I'd have to pay out of pocket and take a taxi to get to a doctor, so I just didn't bother after reading online that there wasn't much they could do anyway.
Sorry your hike was painful!
