I dropped a house speaker on the top of my left foot this morning. Mild pain at first. Drove to the mall. While walking I felt and heard a pop. I barely made it back to my car. Couldn t push clutch in on my car ( its a stick shift). Had to have someone pick me up. Intense pain, currently. Large swollen knot on top of foot. Minimal bruising. Can t walk! Pain subsides only when foot is flat. Is it broke?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with an x-ray. As the mechanism of injury is the direct fall of object on the foot, this could be a bony hurt initially without any fracture but for a safer side an x-ray will be surely helpful as most times this occurs into hairline fracture. Also, using hot water fermentation and undergoing physical therapy should provide excellent results in 7-10 days of time. In my clinical practice such cases are recommended for x-ray for any hairline fracture issue and post which with physical therapy and the recovery is optimum. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
