Xray: You need to have your foot examined and xrays would be able to tell if you have fractured anything. Go to the podiatrist!

Xray: You need an x-ray asap. If you have a broken bone, it is much easier to treat early on, otherwise it may heal in the wrong position which can cause other problems down the road.
