How do i know if i fractured or sprained my foot?!
Question: How do i know if i fractured or sprained my foot.?
so today i woke up late, and i thought i was going to miss the bus, so i was kind of fast walking, and when i crossed the street i put my foot out to step up to the curb, but only the top part of my foot got on, and i fell. i just got up quickly and kept walking thinking the pain would go away, and when i got on the bus, it hurt a lot and i wasn't even moving my foot. also this morning my friends were saying it was really cold, but it didn't feel cold to me, and all i felt was the pain in my foot. i was limping all day, and at PE, i checked my foot and it was swollen. it's only under my pinky and next-to-pinky and middle toes thats swollen, but it's still like that, and PE was around 9:50 am, and now its 4:33 pm. i think it's been swollen all day since then. every time i sit down for a while, the pain kind of goes away, but when i stand back up it hurts. is it fractured or sprained, do u think.?>Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Maybe you just twisted and sprain some of the ligaments around the toes. However, you need to be off the foot for a few days to give it some rest. Rest, ice (lots of it), Advil 2 tabs 3x/day with food, plus a couple of Tylenol per day as needed for extra pain relief. See if you can find (thrift store, drug store) or borrow some crutches. No PE.
If pain and swelling persists, you'll have to go in for an xray.Health Question & Answer
