ok so two days ago i was goin out my back door and the bottom two steps are like concrete blocks well i had one foot on the ground and one on the last step and i turned to ask my sone if he was coming with me and my foot slid off the step and twisted my ankle and the top part of my foot hit the brick. i am making a trip to the er tonight to have it checked out but was wanting opinions.... it hurts to put any pressure on it and as soon as it happen it was swollen and the top of my foot was black i have kept it elevated and put ice and heat on it ever since i still have swelling but the black has gone but the part that hurts the most is the top of my foot and i can kind of like limp around on my toes but it hurts bad but cant really put any pressure flat footed.. behind my ankle hurts and it hurs to move my foot up and down and it even hurts up the left side of my leg like maybe muscle damage or something but im just wondering if maybe i cracked or chipped the bone in the top of my foot any opinions?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

ok everyone thank you for your help and opinions i went to the er this afternoon and it is just a really bad sprain thank god because im not sure what i would have done if something would have been broken and needed a cast or something with these active children of mine lol now lets just hope when i go to the orthopedic surgeon about my knee in the next month or so they wont have to do surgery on it because i have tendon and ligament damage in it from prior issues and if i have to have surgery on that im really in trouble for sure lol

I did almost the same thing about 30 yrs ago. I was coming down the steps and the bottom one wasn't even 2 inches tall but I hit the side and turned my foot. Severe sprain. It was niclely red and purple which means torn ligaments.
You could have a chiped bone or not. Keep ice, no heat on it. Keep off of it entirely. Ibuprophin.

You would probably be fine if you waited till Monday to see a doc. I was put in a walking cast for 3 weeks.

ETA: glad it was just a sprain but treat it with care just the same!

You probably need an X-ray. That aside, also soak your foot in hot Epsom salt water.

I have bad feet, thanks to wearing spiky heels a lot. My feet swell, I have stress fractures. About once every 6 months, I wear the boot for a while and things get better.

I'm sorry you got hurt. It sucks having bad injured feet.

It sounds like you hurt your foot. How badly that hurt is will need to be determined by an x-ray and examination. Based off your description, it sounds painful. But other than that I can't tell you if you broke it or not.
