So i just twisted my foot and it made a crunching/cracking sound and my toe and the side of my foot are burning. do you think i could have sprained it?

Dr. Rick Pospisil answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Foot and toe injury: If the foot and toe are swollen and painful especially with weight bearing you either have a sprain or fracture. Apply ice , ace wrap ,elevate your foot . If it doesn't improve over a few hours you should consider obtain an X-ray
