Did u break : Your skin? If so you need to check your tetanus history....If your skin opened you need to clean very well and apply a antibiotic. Is it possible you suffered a fracture? If possible you need an x-ray....Neil you get to a foot doctor, keep icing it....Take an antiinflammatory. If you need a tetanus shot go to an urgent care center of the hospital.
