walking around on possible broken foot?

Question

When I was 12 or 13 I broke the cuboid bone (the little bone in the middle of the foot on the outside edge) I walked around on it for days before I knew it was broken. Just last weekend I was sitting in a hard wooden chair with my same foot tucked under me and when I moved it out i heard that familiar cracking noise. I think I broke it again, 3 days later I began having pain not when walking but after I stop walking around and rest it. 
I'm hoping to make it through the week before getting it checked out, can't miss work, boss is on vacation. Can I do more harm walking on it. My job is a sit down job by the way, so walking is only in and out.


question #2 will a warehouse not allow someone with a broken foot possibly on crutches to come in to work if that person has a sit down job?

Yes, of course you'll do more harm by walking on it.
and you will more than likely not be able to go to work, but you might wanna ask your manager ya know, don't make assumptions. I surely wouldn't wanna person on crutches walking in to do a job..
unless you trying to impress your co-workers you shouldn't have to worry about using crutches to get to doing your job, if you are allowed to go to work.
