Broken Foot

Has anyone ever had one? Not the ankle, but the foot. Like the ball of it. Did it swell? Could you walk on it? Reson being... after a weekend of kung fu movies (Kill Bill Vol. 2 on Saturday and Hero Sunday) I get home from the theater and walk into my living room to find my girlfriend screaming and pointing at my leather sofa chair. A large spider was crawling up the back. As embarassing as this is to say, in the kung fu spirit I tried to kill it with a swift kick. I hit the spider but in the process hurt the shit out of my foot.
It wasn't a toe on kick, but I kicked with my right foot (really hard) and hit the chair with the outside portion of the ball of my foot. Instant pain. Nothing too intense though. I could walk on it and there was no swelling.
Monday morning I get up and it looks normal but still hurts a bit and is tender to walk on. Monday night my two outter toes are swollen along with the outter half of my foot. I ice it for 15 minutes in a large glad bin of ice/water and sleep with it elevated. This morning, still swollen and tender to walk on.
Think it's broken? God help me if it is. How the hell am I going to tell everyone how I did it. :(

You will know if its broken though, you normally here it.

ouch, the best thing you can do is rest it. no pressure on it. drink plenty of fluids and don't make fun of retarded kidz or kill spiders! ;)

you can tell if it broken if it moves about when you walk on it. I ripped my foot out of it's socket april last year and it is utterly fucked I find it hard to skate like how I used to so look after it.

Damn, thanks fellas. The spider ate shit but I guess I got all caught up in the spirit and kicked it WAY too hard. Stupid me. haha.
I don't really think it's broken but fuck me is it swollen. I dont know what hurts worse, my foot or the friggin ice baths... Jeeeeezuz!

sounds like a hairline fracture to me. Hairlines wont even show up in xrays for about six days (they have to scar up a bit before they can be seen) My wife has one currently. The doc said she could put it in one of those removable shoe casts or just deal for a month or two. If the swelling/bruising continues for more than a week, go to the doc, as that is a sign of a more signifigant break tearing at vessels in your foot.

Yeah Dr. Zombie, I was scared of that. I've heard there is really nothing they can do.
The problem with all of this is... I'm 9+ weeks out from a bodybuilding show I've literally been training a year for. If it is a fracture I'm going to be devastated.

LOL

even in a worse case scenario you'll be get progressively better as the competition nears, you just may have to stick to upper body work for the next few weeks.
and no more tarantino, woo or chan for the next two weeks. again.
