Could Pain And Swelling In Foot Indicate Fracture?
I was in dance and we did this jump and I landed wrong. I landed flat on the top on my feet and knees. My foot is now swollen and I have a black purple blue bruise about and inch below my ankle and about an inch to and inch and a half in diameter. I also have two smaller bruises by my toes. Is it possible that I broke my foot? It is painful to walk but not impossible.

there is likely hood of a crack fracture of the bone around your ankle or a bad tear of the ligament, better see a good Ortho surgeon to rule out what is not there than guessing. only X-ray and clinical examination will be the best to come to any conclusion. in the mean time use an appropriate anklet and start analgesics like tab. Imol plus thrice daily.
