Suggest Treatment For Injury In Toe

I broke my Big toe exactly one week ago from a 12 lb bowling ball falling on it. I went to the ER and it is a confirmed break. I was given a special shoe my job requires me to walk a lot and the ER did not give me a light duties note the pain has subsided for the most part but after my shift today I noticed bruising on the third and fourth toe at the base. It is purple/blueish color. The tip of my big toe is also numb. Is this cause for concern?
