stubbed pinkie toe

I just stubbed my pinkie toe.
It is quite swollen, but not black/blue.
I can walk on it with much pain and my question is: could it be broken if it is not black/blue?
I can still wiggle it, but there’s pain when I touch it.
Also, is it neccessary to go to a podiatrist only or can my primary care physician look at it?
Thank you!

    Since I am a podiatrist, you know what I am going to recommend. We treat these things all the time. A GP may not. Now having said that you can go to your GP and have x-rays but the treatment may not be the same as a podiatrist.
