Elevate and ice the affected area. If you can't move the foot on your own, or there is a lot of bruising go to the hospital for x-rays. If you can control the swelling with ice and there is no major bruising, you probably just sprained it.

Still, it is always safe to go to the hospital.



You probably hair line fractured it, or you could have broken a small bone. The foot has many bones. You should see a doctor if it still continues to hurt in the next 2 hours or so. At the least you should definatly stay off it! If you do go to the doctor, they will probably send you for x-rays. If they don't find anything, they might give you a splint or prescribe RICE for your foot (R= rest, as in use crutches I= Ice it to help swelling C= Compression, like put an ace bandage on it E= Elevation when you broke your ankle you probably had to elevate your ankle alot!) Hope this helps and i hope your foot/ankle is OK!

Personal exsperiances such as: My sister broke her foot, i tore my ministcus in my knee and my friend fractured her foot falling down the stair at her school!



You probably broke it. At the very least I think you fractured it but its most likely broken. You should go to the doctors or hospital. I hope you get well soon! Best of luck.

Personal experience



if you broke it it would probably be numb or something..i dont think you would be able to move if you broke it. if it keeps hurting though, you should defintetly get it checked out. it could be a sprain or some other type of injury



if you walked to a chair , you may have sprained it that hurts a lot , go to a doctor



Maybe, the foot has a lot of bones but it would hurt all the time if it was broken.



u could of sprained it or sprained the bone inside or something if u can walk but it just hurts then i dont think u broke it
