Perhaps: Get some crutches and don't walk on the foot until seen by orthopedics . You can ice over a wrapped foot and see a doctor for pain medications if over the counter ones do not work. Good luck

A week ago I was running and fell on our tile floor and landed on my bunion on my right foot, which is a pretty large. I have been walking on the side of my foot but have used crutches for walking outside (hurts w/ shoe). Could it be fractured?

I suspect I fractured my small toe 5 years ago, I feel pain when I walk barefoot on the bone underneath the toe and this causes me to shift my weight onto the other side of my foot. Problem is not as bad when I wear tackies or shoes ?

No bunion just stinging sensation. No diabetes so no neuropathy. Fractured big toe few months ago that foot. Having stinging sensations more lately.
