Yesterday I went to the ER and they told me my foot wasn't broke. Well I woke up this morning and my pinky toe side was all purple and blue. And it feels like its on fire. They told me to just keep ibprofen in me. And they sent me home with ace wrap and crutches.. I have no idea what to do, can you help me?

If they X-rayed your foot... then its not broken. It's a bad sprain and bruise... you live with it for a few days or weeks. Nothing else to do. Amputation would be a bit extreme for something that will heal fairly quickly.

How would I be able to tell in I have a broken pinkey?
