I think I've fractured my metatarsal

2017-09-11 18:39:58
It's slightly swollen, hurts to press but I can walk on it but not run. I was swimming and as I got out of the pool there was a small 2 inch high step but didn't see the step, the front of my foot hit the corner of the step really hard and it's now 24 hours later and still swollen and hurts to touch.
