I was walking into a building on campus last week and a girl pushed me and as I attempted to catch my balance, she then stepped on my foot. It hurt but I just shook it off. At the end of the week, it started to hurt really bad just walking around campus. I iced it a few times but the pain gets increasingly worse everyday. I can barely put pressure on it now. I think the bone might be bruised because there is no swelling or external bruising. Is it really a bruise or perhaps a fracture?
I’ve tried ice and Ibuprofen but this only helps for a few hours, then gets worst again.
I would say it is quite probable that your bone is bruised which will take longer for the bruise to go away than if it were visible. Give it some time it will go away. Each morning it should get better once your off your feet but as the day goes on it will get worse
