Foot Fracture: Yes it is possible to do that. If it happens with trivial fall, then need to be evaluated for osteoporosis. Symptoms of foot fracture is based on the severity of injury. With mild injury it can be mild, gnawing pain, worse with putting weight on it to swelling and more severe pain making it impossible to walk.
