How do you know?: If you didn't go to the ED then most likely you saw someone in order to find out what it is, unless you are assuming this is what is going on. It is a good idea to see an Orthopedist for evaluation and care of this issue. Fractures usually heal with immobilization and casting for several weeks depending on how severe the fracture is.
