Yikes did i break it? My foot?!
Question: I kicked a wall the other day (being stupid) and it hurt my foot real bad then it started to swell and bruise. if i lift my toes up it hurts or gently stroke it . Its about an inch forward from my ankle. What would the doctor do for it? Would i have to get a cast or should i not even go?

Just because you can wiggle your toes and stuff does NOT mean there isn't a small break.
I would highly recommend getting to a doctor for an x-ray as that's the only way you'll be able to know if there's a small hairline fracture or anything.
In the meantime, wrap an ace bandage around it, ice it on and off for 20 minutes every hour or so, take tylenol for pain, and keep your foot elevated to prevent further swelling.
If you get to the doctor and there is a break, they may place you in a cast with a walking boot or something similar.
Hope this helps. Definitely see your doctor.
lol, that sucks.
And you might just want to go to the doctor..
Can you move your foot? Wiggle your toes?
If so, it's not broken.. it might just be really bruised or something..
Good luck!!!
if you broke your foot your wouldn't be able to move it at all..but i recommend you put ice on it and bandage it.
