How To Treat Foot Injury?
Yesterday, I was sitting and doing my daughters hair, my foot fell asleep and I didn't realize it.
I stood and instantly began walking. On my second step my foot came back down on it's top
I felt and heard a really big pop. There is no swelling today and I can walk on it. It does hurt when I'm
Walking, but not so much when I'm sitting. And it hurts really bad when I touch certain spots. Is it broken?

Hello,
Most probably it is not broken. It needs a more high energy trauma for it to break such as falls or car accidents. I think probably you had some muscle or ligament sprain or tear. It needs some kind of immobilization such as brace or elastic bandage or a boot, though. If after 2 weeks you do not have improvement at all consult a doctor for x-rays and MRI.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
