Cannot bend small toes after fall.

Hi.  I fell down the stairs a few months ago.  I immediately had a big goose egg of swelling close to the base of my two small toes on my left foot on the top.  I was sure I broke a bone in there.  X-ray didn't show a break but here it is months later and there is still a round area of swelling in that same spot and I still can't bend my three smaller toes (littlest toe worst).  The fall happened so fast I don't know how I landed on it and I was more concerned at the time about a back break, etc., as it was a hard fall.  I'm still trying to pay the bills from the first brief visit and x-rays and can't go back, so I'm hoping I won't have to just live with this now for the rest of my life.    Thanks for ideas of what it may be as a break should have been healed by now.  I still favor it and put my weight on the inside of my foot.
