So I think I must’ve broken my toe (the one next to the biggest one) some time ago and not noticed. I wouldn’t really care usually, who cares if my toe is a little crooked, but it’s causing me some pain and today I noticed it’s a little swollen. If I were going to get it checked out, would an internal medicine clinic (my regular) cut it, or should I try going somewhere else? TIA

Hope you get better. A 整形外科 would be your best choice.
Check for diabetes if it didn’t cause you much pain when you injured it.
I smashed just my pinkie toe against the a/c fan outside and it hurt like hell, swelled up and discolored immediately. You must be hard as nails not to have noticed.
I was advised to go to a ペインクリニック but they were next to useless. X-Ray showed no clear break but white specks close to the bone. Was told they were calcium deposits and would disappear very soon. Spoiler: they didn’t and it took about 6 mths for all the discomfort to go away. I was prescribed medicated strips to wrap over my toe but I feel like they didn’t really do much. Unless it’s a massive break I don’t think doctors can do much but it’s probably a good idea to get it checked out just in case.
