Have I broke/sprained my foot?!
Question: Have I broke/sprained my foot.?
I fell from a wobbly plant pot, trying to reach across to our bird house which is high up on the fence, hanging over loads of bushes. I didnt want to walk INTO the flowers and i couldnt reach the bird house by standing there. So I climbed on this plant pot which wasnt a good idea. I lost my balance, causing me to crash down. As soon as I got up, my foot felt cramped and tight. I limped to the conservatory where my sis and dad were laughing. I told them to shut it, but they ignored me. The following day, my foot was burning and had these weird tingly feelings - I also can't bare putting my wait on it...I always need to sit down. That wasnt long ago. Once it settled down, I was still insecure about it. So in school, my friend kicked me twice where I had a nasty bump after getting my foot trapped in the door and my skin peeled off, hanging there. I got a bump after that but that was a year ago - are you following, lol.? So just this week, as I said, my friend kicked me twice right in the spot i didnt WANT to be kicked. My foot was in agony (just four days ago, so my foots been like this for just about a week). It lops to one side and it's still burning. It swollen so many times, my foot has shrank. If I try and curl my toes, I just can't get my nerves to do so. It's the same in bending them towards me, but that's worse. My little toe went a bit darker than usual - you could see a tint of purple in there... My ankle burns too - as if someone's stabbing it. My foot makes me wriggle about and makes me twitch when my foot burns - i still can't put weight on it. I can't feel my foot at all. Oh and my second toe is over lapping my big toe. Sorry, I'm waffling on. But if I try and stretch my toes out, they won't go as far as the other toes on my good foot. I've complained to my mum and dad but they think I'm just a baby and it's hurting my feelings cause I've never experienced anything like this.
Please help,
Thank you.

P.S if i stroke my foot I can't feel anything and I'm tickle-ish so you know.
I can't rotate my ankle either.
It feels heavy as well, if that helps.
Urgh, I almost forgot - my dad squeezed my foot on purpose ??
Little things can make a big impact (:

Without a doubt you need to get your foot/ankle x-rayed, sooner rather than later. That is the only way to tell if you have broken anything and even then sometimes a break in the forefoot doesn't show up. But that is the first place to start.
Just because there is bruising does not mean it is broken. Just because you can move it doesn't mean it isn't broken. The tingling and decrease in sensation makes me think there may be some nerve impairment. But NOTHING can be diagnosed without actually seeing and examining in person so everything said here is just guessing.
Please go see your doctor and have it checked out. If your parents need convincing, go to webmd.com or mayoclinic.com and use the symptom checker for more information and print it out. Be honest in the symptoms you put in. Don't exaggerate or you can get some pretty serious possibilities and that will freak you out as well as them.
Here's hoping it's nothing serious. Good luck!Health Question & Answer

Yeah it could be a nasty sprain or break of your foot. It could also be a muscle or tendon that you tore. The best suggestion however, is to go to your doctor and ask for an x-ray, and also a weight bearing test which should be able to tell whether there are problems.Health Question & Answer
