I have gone through your query and understand your concern.It is likely that you got fracture of probably one of metarsals most probably 5 th metatarsal. It can be confirmed by x ray of foot. You are likely to be benefitted by rest to foot and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C along with calcium is helpful in recovery. You can discuss with your doctor about it.
