    Hi I dropped a cast iron frying pan on my foot this morning,initially the pain was very intense but has subsided over the last 12 hrs.
    My foot has a lump on the very top of it along with bruising towards the 4th and 5th metatarsal it is very painful to touch,has some slight swelling,tingling in my toes but I am able to walk on it with a slight limp
    Is it possible to break a bone in your foot and still walk on it? I dont really want to go to emergency unless it is necessary. thanks

    K I went to the ER this morning and they x-rayed the foot,the doc said I crushed a bone on the top of my foot,(around the top of the 1st metatarsal ). He put me in a half cast and no weight bearing until I see the orthopedic surgeon on Wednesday..OK so how do they treat a crushed bone??Afraid im looking at surgery.

    That would have to be determined based on an actual evaluation.
