A member asked:

The top of my foot hurts when i walk, so i end up limping, it hurts to sleep, i can't bend my toes without it hurting, i'm wondering if its broken?

Possibly: I would recommend evaluation by a physician. X-rays would be required to rule out a broken bone.

Possibly: You will need to see a podiatrist to have it checked and probably an xray. Its possible that you developed a stress fracture which would cause the symptoms you are mentioning.. You would also have some swelling.
