Brief Answer:
X ray foot required to rule out fracture

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam

I can certainly understand your concern.

It's very important to get an x ray of the foot to rule out any fracture.

Meanwhile, painkillers like Diclofenac sodium can help you to control the pain and tenderness.

Further management if any is largely based on test results.

Thank you.
