A member asked:

What are the symptoms of a broken 5th metatarsal?i think i may have broken mine.little swelling, hurts to put weigh, bump, and bruising.is it broken?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor: Pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty putting weight on the foot might indicate a foot fracture, you want to see a podiatrist or orthopedist for evaluation, and foot x-rays can help answer your question. While a simpler fracture might heal with immobilization and time, some require surgery to get the job done. Good luck!
