Is my foot/toe broken?
My sister threw my textbook to me a couple days ago and I failed to catch it and the corner of it fell directly on my foot/toes. Very painful.
I've had a very noticeable bruise there will some swelling. Although the swelling has gone down by now.
It's sometimes it hurts a lot, but other times it doesn't. Tonight it was bothering me a lot and when I got home I looked at my foot and an orangish-brownish (like rust) spot was there with the bruising. Not your typical bruise. Also, the pain is very different than a bruise.
I know it's not a major break, but I think I might have a hairline fracture or something like that. What do you think? And will it heal on its own?

I doubt it a broken bone would have more bruising in the area

First: Put some ice in a plastic bag and put it on your bruise. I strongly suggest you go to your family doctor. Your family doctor will tell you if it's broken or if it's fine. If it's broken, you will have to go to the hospital, and they will give you a training cast (a cloth around your bruise) and if it's seriously broken, they will put a big cast. I hope your foot feels better! Good luck!:)
