Hi, I dropped a small can of olives on my foot today. I had a big bump where the can hit for about hour afterwards. Now it just hurts. It hurts some to walk on it. If I point my toes down it hurts really had. Feels like my skin it tearing. The can hit me right on top of my foot. Could it be broken or fractured?
If there is swelling and if it is tender to touch, and hurts you a lot on weight-bearing on the affected foot, then it can be an injury to the bone or the joint. It is better to take a radiograph and confirm it. If there are no open wounds, with aseptic precautions, you can apply Ice for up to 10 to 15 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day.
