Foot pain
by rjheidi510, Oct 15, 2009 01:12PM
I dropped a dresser on my foot a couple months ago. It bruised and the pain went away. I could, however, still feel like there was a strain or something on the top of my foot about the 4th toe. Every time I stretched it it felt really sore. Now, over the last several weeks, I have started having more pain in that area of my foot. The more I walk the worse it gets. I end up limping from the pain, like I'm trying to shift my foot to walk so it doesn't hurt. How can I tell if this is a sprain or a fracture? There is pain when I touch about that 4th toe. I just don't want to see a doctor for a sprain if I can heal it at home. But if it's a fracture, I guess I can't take care of that myself.
Thanks.
Thanks.
