Dr. Scott Keith answered

Specializes in Podiatry

Horse Play.: If your foot hurts as bad as you say, you would be better off not to walk on it at all, use crutches, at least until the full extent of the injury can be verified. Elevating the foot/leg and ice compress may also help until you are treated.
