How do you know when you have a broken foot?

Answer 1

Typical signs and symptoms include moderate to severe pain (depending on the severity of the fracture and associated nervous system effects)

Swelling, bruising, and tenderness

An exposed bone (complex fracture)

Physical deformity that is obvious.

For simple fractures and fractures that do not result in a breaking of the skin or obvious deformity, an x-ray is needed to confirm the presence of a fracture.

These can be done at an emergency department, urgent care clinic, or through a podiatrist.

Answer 2

not being able to stand on the leg attached to the fractured ankle, swelling more and more after the moment of fracture, turning red, sometimes bones sticking out, or you can feel the bone broken underneeth the skin

Answer 3

Obviously pain. The toe doesn't necessarily look "different" than the others (discoloration, swelling, etc) From past experience, the only way to know for sure if its broken is to get an x-ray.

Answer 4

An obvious sign would be a protruding bone coming through the skin. Another sign would be a deformity on a limb. Less obvious signs would be pain and swelling at the site of the break. A hairline fracture of the leg may hurt when the person walks on it, but not otherwise.

Pain, tenderness, and bruising

Weakness of a limb

Abnormal position of the fractured extremity

Arm or leg may appear shorter than the opposite arm or leg
