See orthopedist: You may have fractured it. In any case, you need to see an orthopedist today. The foot needs to be examined and Xrayed

I fell last month and my foot swelled up. I think its a Jones fracture. The swelling is not as bad as when I fell. But it still tender to touch, and often bulges when subjected to much walking. I wore a moon boot. Its still painful?
