it could also be a ligamental stain or a ligatment rupture (thank god for the online dictonaries)
thnx. my dad thinks it may be a ligiment sprain. its nothing serious.
even if you should rest you foot otherwise it won´t heal properly

Don't always trust your parents with such things. When I was 12 or so I fell over and hurt my arm - it was very painful, but my dad said it was "just a bruise" and told me to stop being such a crybaby. But mom insisted that I should go to the doctor... I did (two days after the accident) and it turned out that my arm was broken in three spots, my dad was really embarrassed.

Probe your foot for where it hurts most. If you feel anything other then searing pain it might be a clue to something 🙂 I'm no authority though, I've been lucky/nonathletic and never broken or fractured any bones, so...
Which kinda contributes to why I believe I can heal anything by walking it off, I'm sure 🙂

This has become quite the topic of discussion. A lot of people have posted, so you're probably a bit overwhelmed as to who's advice you should take. I'm not going to make any comments on anyone, everyone is entitiled to what they think.
The two things I want to add can be applicable to anytime you suffer an injury, feel sick etc.
-
Has the symptoms/pain changed since the time of onset i.e if you hurt yourself on last Thursday and today in Saturday has the pain gotten worse, stayed the same or got better?
-
Does the symptoms/pain prevent you from doing things normally? So if we look at this case, you've injured your foot, does it prevent you from walking normally? And to what degree does it prevent you from doing things normally. Are you able to walk a little bit, or can you not walk at all?
If the answer to both the questions were negative i.e. it's gotten worse, can't do normal function then it's best to go to the doctor. In your last post you said that you can now put your shoes on which is good sign, so hopefully things will improve. If they don't then don't be afraid to see the doctor.

I like how some of the people here try and diagnose you like a doctor...does it burn? is it making noise at the joints? Feeling light headed?
🤣
If your not too sure, it doesn't hurt to check up right?
I know a guy who got in a fist fight and had his jaw cracked, he had irritations but left it alone for over a mounth...only thing was that his jaw healed incorrectly and when he had a check up with the doctor because the irritation wouldn't go he had to have his jaw recracked again so it could heal properly.

I believe in letting people do as they wish, as do I myself. Sometimes, of course, what I wish to do is kill them and they do not wish to die. This gives life interest.

well ive never broken a bone before because im lucky and ive been drinking milk my whole life, so i dont think this is an acception. ive been run over by bikes, hit in the face with every kind of sports ball, tripped on my face, and fell backwards onto a glass vase. but it wont hurt to get it checked. my toes dont really hurt unless i squeeze them when im feeling them and i think my toe nail is sorta cracked which is a perfect excuse to go to the doctor but i dont think i can right now. my dad's girlfriend's kids are over and i have to entertain them. right now theyre watching house, the show. and its not really overwelming me to have so many posts, it has helped me alot. thank you everyone for your help, ill go ot the doctor tomorrow.
