I think I broke my foot again..?!
Question: I think I broke my foot again...?
I broke the base of my fifth metatarsal on June 24th 2008. Today, being the big oaf I am, I dropped something heavy a few inches above the incident site. There is a large purple/reddish bruise where it hit and it hurts when I touch it. I can walk fine but it does throb a little. I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow but I want quick answers now. What do you think.? Could this be another fracture.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
if you broke it, you probably wont not be able to bear any weight on it. so i doubt you broke it. just make sure you rest it, ice and elevate above your heart to keep it from swelling too much.Health Question & Answer
