I have recently had sharp stabbing pain in my right foot, in line with my 2nd toe. It starts about 2 inches back from my toes and continues in a straight line up towards my ankle.
It hurts to walk and wiggle my toes. At first I thought maybe I bruised the top of my foot but now after 2 days of pain, I'm wondering if maybe its something more. Possibly a fractured metatarsal? Or something similar? I've tried Icing and applying Icy hot. I've also tried treating it like a sprain( wrapping it, elevation etc.) Nothing works.
I really don't have the money to pay for doctor's care unless I absolutely need it. I also don't want to pay for a doctor to tell me its just a bruise or something that would heal by itself. I will go to the Dr if I absolutely need to.
What is my next step?
