How would you know if your foot is sprained or broken?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See your doctor: It can be hard to tell the difference between a bad sprain or a fracture (broken bone). A simple x-ray of the foot can help your doctor determine if there is a fracture.

X-ray: X-rays would be a first modality to rule out fracture.
