Is my foot fractured if a three pound dumbbell fell on it?

Dr. Ellen Wenzel answered

Specializes in Podiatry

X-ray: Without an x-ray and more detailed information about the site and injury, it is difficult to say for certain. I would recommend that if you have any pain or swelling that you see a specialist or an urgent care where you can be fully evaluated and radiographs taken if necessary.
