I have hurt my foot many times. First I would use rice. R= rest I= ice C= compression and E= elevation. Next I would wrap it in an ace wrap or some other type of wrap/sports tape to immobilize it. (You don't want to be walking on it just normal or you could hurt it worse!) You sould rest from any long distance walking or any sports activities. Play it safe for a few days and take ibprofine for the pain and swelling. If it still hurts you sould go to the doctors or the emergency room to get it checked out and to get an x-ray. If it hurts really really bad you could possibly call up a pharmacy - sorry for the spelling- near you and rent some cruches until you get it checked out, but in the mean time I hope it fells better and I hope this helps!

go see a doctor

e.r. emergncy room duh

Either go to the ER/doctor, or try to wrap it with gauze or something. Don't put weight on it. Rest your foot on a pillow.
hope this helps, and get well soon!

You can make sure it's broken by dropping the sledgehammer on your foot some more.

If you could move it slightly, and if you are able to be online typing this, then I doubt it's broken. It's probably just sprained. Go to a doctor if youre able to. It'll take a few weeks to heal. no biggy.

go to the emergency room....

u should be spending ur time going to the doc instead of asking strangers online

it could be just bruised really bad...or broken..i would go check it out...
put aloe vera on it...it will help the pain and bruising...
it wont stop it completely...but it will help ALOT!

my guess is no, the fact that you can sit and type this question tell me you might be in pain but not enough pain for your foot to be broken. Go and see a doctor

it might not be broken but it is just as bad go to hospital and get checked . you might need an operation sorry

you should go to the emergency room when it happend like i was riding my quad my brother was in the front driving and i was in da back we have like a ramp that we were suposed to go slow on but my brother went fast on it and i fell off and my foot got ran over twice be the monster wheels of the quad i went to the emergency room right away!

Go to the E.R. and get it checked out. And it might be if you dropped a sledge hammer on it. Why are you wasting your time on the computer when you might have. broke your foot any way

It is most likely that your foot is broken if you cannot put pressure on it. I recommend going to the emergency room soon so that they can fix it for you.

go to e.r. now. right away!

Definitely go to the ER and get your foot X-rayed!!!!! Alternate heat and ice and take some pain medication!!!! Rest your foot on a pillow!!!!

Either go to the ER or to a podiatrist tomorrow. My daughter tripped at school and her foot swole up and turned black. I took her to the ER the following morning and they Xrayed it and told me she broke her 5th metatarsal. Put it in one of those shoes and referred me to a podiatrist. I was told not much could be done for it except rest and Tylenol. It wasn't a bad break that required surgery but your could. My daughters was in her growth plate area and we were told we could have some problems later because of it. It is definately worth getting checked out even if you wait and just your regular doctor. If you are going to wait, take some Tylenol, prop your foot up and stay off of it until you go get seen.

For what it's worth I know 3 people who also broke there foot and didn't even know until weeks later when the pain never subsided.

Hope this helps!!

first try putting a heating pad on your foot for a while and just go to sleep like that but if it doesnt work then see a doctor/er but if u dont realy want to see a doctor then put some of a cream called BENGAY and put the heating pad back on it and just do it when your watching tv or on the cumputer so it wont feel like its been on foreever
???????????????
HOPE U FEEL BETTER

if you you cant go to the Doctor if it is broke it will probably swollen and busied
