Is my foot broken? (Please try and answer)?!
Question: Is my foot broken? (Please try and answer)?
The pain was on the left side of the top of my left foot, (metatarsil I think it's called, but I'm not sure)
I went home and put ice on it ASAP. and it seems to be better today that it was yestoday.
I can but weight on it, but not too much or it hurts. There is no bruising or swelling, and doesn't hurt unless i put full weight on my foot. I can bend all my toes aswel but not too fast.
Need a good answer because the welsh boxing championships is next week. thanks.

Sounds like a fracture to me, just keep bending your toes and keeping it moving, also apply Ice packs 3 times a day, for 30 minutes.

Don't mess about, go and get an X-ray at the hospital. By the time you wait to see if the swelling goes down and the pain has gone it may be too late for the boxing championships anyway. If it is broken then you can't box either. So either way you don't have much time.
If the X-ray shows it is not broken then rest, rest, rest and see how things are.
Without getting an xray, which you should. It sounds like a sprain (tear or bruise of a tendon). Stay off of your foot for 2 days and don't be athletically active on it for at least 6 weeks.
Or risk permament injury. Tendons are very poor healing tissues because they are not high in blood circulation.
Sorry about your boxing championship. You'll get them next year.
I don't think it's broken, if it were you wouldn't be able to stand on it at all. Just rest it a few days and it'll probably be fine. But if your really concerned you should see a doctor.
Well a qualified doctor wouldn't be able to answer your question without seeing it so quite simply, you're not going to get an answer from here. You need to see a doctor to find out.
Yes you have broken your foot, you may need to have an amputation so you will never ever box again!!!!!!!
Yes it definatly sounds broken, you will never be able to box again,
You know, there are these magical places called hospitals. They might help.
maybe you cracked the bone. rest it. let it heal.
go to the doctors.
