What Causes The Toe To Extend To The Right After Injury?

This morning I caught my right little toe on the leg of a chair and stumbled forward. It was painful and when I looked at my foot, my toe was hyperextended to the right. I moved it back into place. It was painful to the touch. This afternoon I applied a bag of frozen vegetables to the toe area for 20 minutes every 60 to 75 minutes and taped my toe to the one beside it. I have bruising between my toes and a very small area of bruising in front of the toe and on top of my foot. I am taking Ibuprofen already for a shoulder impingement. Since the swelling has come down and I can move my toe, I am wondering if this is a fracture, a strain, or soft tissue injury. I also practice tai chi and would like to participate in a reduced session tomorrow. Is this feasible and what might my recovery time be?
