Injury: Certainly. See your podiatrist who will take x rays and evaluate you and guide you in the best course of treatment. Good luck.

Depends on Problem: You need to see an orthopedist / urgent care where you can get x-rayed to determine if fractured or just sore. Then can determine if injury would benefit from surgical intervention, casting, splinting, or just time.
