Breaking the ball of your foot?

So I landed on my foot last night in a really weird way, and I heard a bunch of cracking. You know say when you're just walking along and you dont pick your foot up enough and like step on all your toes and stuff? That happened, but I was jumping onto them.

Anyways, this has happened before but I can't remember it being this bad. Only the ball of my foot hurts when I walk on it, but the pain is definitely worse than yesterday. Also, I've got a very small bruise, and no swelling.

Has this happened to anyone before? I've never heard of people breaking the ball of their foot.




Also, please don't say "GO TO THE DOCTORS LOL", I don't have enough money to pay for the bill (even when I have health insurance) so I'm trying to avoid that for right now. Fuck this countries health insurance.

cracking of bones is never a good sound.

The same thing happeneed to me about two months ago, and for my case I couldn't walk normal for almost a month. It took a long time to heal, but it was prob because I was skiing on it just not hitting any jumps. My advice is to put some stuff in the bottom of your boot like a heal pad or something to help out. I'm still not sure if my foot was/is broken but it wouldn't surprise me if it was. It happened in mid Feb. and my foot is still hurting a good amount. Pretty shitty but atleast it happened at the end of the season.

it could also be bruised but cracking could suggest otherwise

just take it easy for awhile. Unless you've severely broken your foot, which you would know if it was badly broken, they won't really do anything except tell you to stay off of it and let it heal. Save yourself the bucks and just stay off of it and let it heal.

*disclaimer I am not a doctor and this in no way, shape, or form constitutes medical advice. I will not be held liable if you really do have the aids.
