How do you know if your foot's broken or just sprained?
I twisted my right foot yesterday, sole pointing inwards. It hurt for about 30 seconds, after that was OK to walk on. Last night it got more painful and this morning I can still walk on it but I have to limp, and putting weight on my toes hurts (although I can do it).
The pain is in a small area just infront of the outer ankle bone, there's a little swelling patch but it doesn't hurt to press it or squeeze it. It does hurt if I press further up on top of the foot (10mm away) right under the top front ridge of the ankle lump, feels a bit like a bruise (which I'm guessing it is).
The missus says if I think it's broken I need to go to A&E, and if I don't want to go there then it's probably not broken - what kind of diagnosis is that!! I was meant to go into work this morning to start a test, will my foot fall off if I walk on it? Should I stick some frozen peas down my socks?
