Question:
Need more help?
this morning i was helping my husband downstairs. he was working on a crib for our son. i dropped a hammer on my foot, and i think it may be broken. i am already at the hospital due to my children, but i'm afraid if i tell the doctors about my broken foot, i'll have to pay more. please help, i'm in severe pain. so much pain that when i went to pick up my son i dropped him. he stopped breathing but is fine now.

There is really no better answer other than: go to the doctor asap. In reality you are only making the situation worse by not going as soon as it happened. Here are the symptoms of a broken foot which you can find on Web MD:
Broken Foot Symptoms
Broken bones in the foot cause pain and swelling.
Usually (but not always) the pain is so bad, that you are not able to walk. Broken bones in the toes cause less pain, and you may be able to walk with a broken toe.
Bruising of the foot with a broken bone is also common.
Sprains can also cause bad pain, swelling, and bruising, so it is usually not possible to tell if a foot is broken or sprained just by looking at it.
