Cuboid injury?!
Question: I hurt my foot hopping down from the cab of a tall 4x4 I was vacuuming out.. I landed on the hose with my left foot and the foot rolled over sideways (outward) and I fell to the left. There's now pain on the top and bottom of the foot and I can't walk on it. The ankle didn't twist. There was only mild swelling and barely any bruise.. more of a slight darkening.. no blue. The bone I suspect of hurting is the cuboid bone... maybe a dislocation. Anyone have any experiences with this sort of injury? How was it treated?
(I'd been vacuuming out the extra cab part of the truck.. the beeper went off to alert me to the vacuume timer ending.. I hopped from the doorway from a standing position.)

Hopefully you havent suffered a Lisfranc sprain. I think you should see a doctor ASAP because if it is a Lisfranc sprain then you need prompt medical attention to help stabilize it to maximize the healing potential. If may be nothing that serious but considering that you cant walk on it its better to be safe than sorry. An orthopedic doctor would be best to see.
