Broken my foot but can't remember an accident?

Hi - I have been in discomfort sometimes agony for the past week and a half - and I just thought that I had tendinitis or something like that - because I can't actually remember a certain incident where I would have caused any damage - but I did this self check test thing and It came out that I had probably fractured my foot. Is it possible that I did it in my sleep - or sustained an injury without thinking it was that bad or something - or would i have been in agony the moment it happened and from them? I dont know if that made sense?

The test was on here - www.associatedcontent.com/article/294885/fractures_vs_ankle_sprains_is_my_foot_pg2.html?cat=50

Thanks!

    Hi Marty: I have had several foot and ankle fractures. In each case, I knew exactly when it happened, and it never was any kind of mystery to me. In one case, I actually heard the bone break. If you are in discomfort and agony, you need to see a doctor, as pain is not normal. The only way they will be able to know if a bone in your foot or ankle is broken is through an xray. If it is indeed broken, then it needs to be taken care of. If you delay or do not go, you could be causing greater injury to yourself.
