Should Crutches Be Used For Severe Pain In The Foot?

I was angry and kicked a wall! I hit it with like the base of my toes and now I can’t put pressure on it without server pain and even when is elevated it hurts a lot too! I can’t get a doctors appointment for a week or so and have work all day and I’m on my feet? If I can get some crutches should I use them as a precaution whilst I’m at work??
