Should i go to the doctor? ?

Question

If you read my other question i put in the category you already know what i did to hurt my foot. If you didnt its not really relavent. I just landed after jumping 6 feet wrong on my foot and heard it crack. Now all down the left side of my foot hurts and the ball of my foot hurts and my toes do to. Its very painful to walk on. I have to limp around. Its not swollen though. Should i have my parents take me to the doctor today or just wait untill sunday and see if it gets better?

Answer 1

The major question is whether or not it's broken.  If you can fully rotate your foot in a circle, left to right, forward and back then you've probably sprained it and it will just need to heal over time.

If you are walking on it, then it's probably fine.  Keep ice on it for a few hours and let your parents decide whether or not to take you.

Answer 2

You should go to the doctor if you heard a crack and you are in a lot of pain. Broken bones do not always cause swelling.

Answer 3

honestly from a kid with your kind of experience i would go see a doctor immediately instead of waiting for it to get worse. though a six foot drop is not very far. i would recommend telling your parents and see what they think about it. :D
