Usually if you go to get x-rays your doctor will tell you whether or not its broken. Some things you should know if it is broken are (i know this because I am in a aircast right know because I have a broken growth plate in my ankle). So first it would be helpful if I knew where you think your growth plate is broken. So here are some things you should know;
-if it is broken and it is your ankle or heel, you will most likely be put into a aircast
-go to the doctor asap because I waited two weeks and it got worse
-you should go to a orthopedic doctor before or after so he can tell you whats wrong etc.
-and stay off it as much as possible (I thought I sprained my ankle so I was on crutches for a week, and they helped)
