Needs X-ray: Fractures need to be diagnosed with an X-ray. You sometimes think it is broken but really is not. Since no one has X-ray vision see a Doctor for slip to go to radiology and get it done. If fractured may need a cast to keep the bones immobile so they will heal up. If not can go on years with a non healing fracture.

Foot Fracture: The only way to tell if there is a fracture is to get an X-ray. Fifth metatarsal fractures have a high incidence of not healing, so it is important to be seen right away
