I think i just broke my metatarsal bone?!

if its your toe, then there is not much a doctor can do!. all that they will do is give you pain medicine and maybe tell you not to walk for a few days!.

if its your foot, go to the doc!. i broke my foot and it started as a small bump!. i waited a day to see if my foot got any better but the whole thing turned purple and swollen!. if it gets worse, you need to go!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if you can put weight on it, chances are is not broken!.

but as a teen I broke my pinky toe, it was all swollen up, couldn't walk but didn't tell my parents, until they noticed I was limping!. ended it up at the ER and with a cast boot on my foot for weeeeks!.

so if your phobia prevents you from seeking help outside the home, just wait a few day/until it gets worse, and then you'll know for sureWww@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think its broken else you would not be able to put weight on it!.
It is probably badly bruised!.
Try keeping your foot off the floor and if it still hurts tomorrow buddy tape it to the next toe with surgical tape!.
I have a broken toe myself at the moment, and hospitals wont do anything but strap them together anyway!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You would be in terrible pain if that was the case!.

I suggest you use the ICE treatement and take painkillers for a little while and I will keep my fingers crossed its not broken for you!.
