You should go to the doctor to confirm that but when is about a fracture one of the symptoms is indeed a very strong pain in a speciffically spot where the fracture is located. May be you need medical treatment like a cast or inmovilizer, or just a litle more resting. Try resting with you foot higher than your chest and putting some cold patches in the spot where you feel the pain. Get Well soon.

First of all I am not an M.D., however I have had the go from Surgeons  who just needed for me to dive in and find the problem through deep tissue work. \nI can give you some suggestions on what can be causing the problem. Obviously you have blood flow to your feet, and since they are still attached to your body, it is not Phantom pain.\n\nThink about the restriction of blood-flow to the area, from the pressure of your upper body, on all of your nerves that are being compressed while you are spending many hours sitting.\n\nI hope you have all of your needs met.\n If not, you need to be your own detective. Are you sitting on a Gel Cushion? Do you move your legs off of the foot pads, and change their position often. Do you move from Wheel-chair to your bed several times a day, and have your legs elevated?  Re-positioning is really important. I have done deep tissue on old, very old injuries where the circumference of one leg was smaller that the other. The nerves grow, I kept working on the smaller leg each day, and with the growth of new tissue and nerve, working out in our gym, the leg reached it's max growth. However the old injuries were usually football (muscle tears) on the old boys, before P.T. was in use. The components of the blood crystallize, extra calcium binds to the site. It is like glass fragments. eek.\n\nIf your insurance wont pay for "Massage", you must find a way to get your feet and legs massaged. Be careful that you have someone trained, or they can damage the fragile state of your tissue at this time. I wish I were a hundred me, so I could be the one to help you heal.\nIf you could apply Cold Packs to your feet, it would take away some of the pressure of fluid against the nerves, that are causing the crushing, tingling sensation. (Hobbling), James Caan was feeling in Misery. Since you don't have the feeling in them, you must be careful with the cold pack. Start with 10 Min. max. Not directly on the skin, wrap in a small towel. You can also Ice other areas, the back of the knee is a lymph area, gently massage in an upward motion.. Stretch youself as much as you can.\nI know you mention upper chest, which Vertabrae I am wondering. Can you reach your suffering feet to rotate your ankles?\n\nSeems like if you have SSD, or Health plan, you could have a Physical Therapist work on your legs, especially your Sciatic nerves that you are sitting on all day. I have seen some killer Gel Cushions. Expensive, however. It's good you ask your quesions here. I hope this helps you some. I love the Actress in the movie, she was good, can't think of her name.\n\nI will probably remember her name as soon as I sign off. he he\n\nP.S. If you can find your way to water therapy, especially a salt water pool, or some type of Hydro-Therapy, that would be the ticket.  Take care, give em hell....Marilyn \n And, as I always say, back off the salt. Chem. Panel lately?\n\nWhen I flipped a motorcycle in 76, In the Middle East. I landed on my face. My cheek turned green really fast. The best pain killer was Opium at the time. Maybe a little tooo good.

sounds like sciatica. take some brufen and make an appointment to visit your GP.

Yes, but you need to get emergency care if you are in doubt or if you feel you are in any way unsure of the emergency of your medical problem.\n\nBlod clots are not something to play around with and if you need a blood thinner to dissolve this clot (? if that is what you indeed have) you won't get it without medical care and will jeopardize your health by neglecting this.\n\nSciatica can also cause leg pain as can knee pain...but it sounds as if your pain is in the general area of the leg?  Seek help if you think this isn't something that can wait until you see the doctor.

It is the most intense pain you could possibly imagine.  Think of the worst pain you've ever had, and take it the 100th power.  It hurts so much you can't feel anything else--you can't tell if you feel pressure, or stinging, all you feel is the pain.  When you go to the physical therapist and they ask you to rate you pain on a scale of 1 to 10, a broken bone is an eleven.  I pray that you never have to experience it.

sounds like it could be what we call in the medical field a stress fracture.  these are  hairline fractures in the bone and can be linked with weakened cartilige, and tendons.  most of us use our right foot as the dominant foot.  we put lots of pressure on it, much more than we weigh. we do this because in the back of our heads, the dominant foot has never failed us.  in some cultures, pain in the right foot is a sign of strength.  however, on the flip side of western medicine, you may have an arch problem.  wear a great pair of running shoes like Saucony.  Wear these all the time for about three or four weeks.  They work the arch as well as support it, and when the arch is supported, the top of the foot needs to compensate less.  try it! oh, and there is nothing that needs to be done if it is indeed a stress fracture. they are usually so small, we don't even know we have them many times.  and, use a epsom salt soak for the foot at night four times a week.

It is very possible it could cause vascular comprimise distal to the fracture, but seems an unlikley factor in systemic peripheral vascular disease or in your other limbs. Please check with your doctor to see how you individual situation could affect any answer to this question.

sound like you pulled something.The only way to know if it's fractured is go to a doctor for x-rays.\nAsk your gym teacher for tips on weight lifting before you really get hurt.There are proper ways of lifting.

As a medical doctor I can assure you that there probably isn't anything to worry about.  Obviously, if you start feeling unwell, your vision is impaired etc then you should seek medical advice.  Chances are in a few days everything will be hunky dory!  It does sound like there is some superficial injury like bruising...

Yes the blood in your system is racing to your broken area to heal it and the pain probably is also causing you to experience this.  Take some pain medicine and relax

I say you should go to a doctor and i agree with that guy that you should take an x-ray of your foot;and sister....I know how much it must be paining coz these sort of incidents were also experienced by me.Once a whole tire came on my foot and my whole right thigh was bleeding but it wasn`t a fracture coz my father pushed me due to which his hand got fractured and once i got ingured by the sharp edge of a sofa and guess what,not only my skin got peeled of but a piece of wood from the sofa broke as well it was 5 years ago but the skin did not grow there and the mark is still there.Hope you don`t get injured like me(sob).sorry for such a long answer!

You can have your legs broke and stretched.  you'll be in traction for a long time.  very painful.

it's hard to tell, I broke a bone on the side of my foot 4 years ago and had a cast for about a month and a half and was on crutches the entire time.  The bone never healed properly but it doesn't really bother me now.  I guess it all depends on how bad the break was and what doctors tell you!\nGood luck!

Okay, I'm no expert, but when I had a sprained ankle and wrist, it hurt, but I could still move it around a little, when you brake a bone, it should swell up*more than it does when it is simply sprained* an get pink, maybe purple, then when you try to move it, it should feel like you don't have a joint, like if it is your leg or ankle, it is a ruler, and when you move it, it feels stiff and VERY painful and uncomfortable. And sometimes when you put it up it will make it feel better.\nAnd for a wrist, my bast guess is try to move it in a circular motion, if it swells, it is probably fractured, broken, or sprained, it might not swell, but that doesn't mean it isn't. To be able to give you an accurate answer, I would have to know what happened, how long ago it happened, and maybe some more information.

Take off all your clothes and lay on the Bed for a few minutes to see if it go away. May try stretching the leg some too. It could be a pinched nerve and should be OK in a few days. I not sure what you feel, but, you know your Body better than anyone. IF, it not feel right to you soon, you may want to see a Doctor just to play it safe. Many problems can start out feeling like nothing and slowly progress into a major disabling condition.

Sounds to me like you jarred the knee.\nIt can happen from an impact like jumping in BB. If you are lucky its only a jarred knee which will take a few days to sort itself out. It could be ligament damage but thats unlikely as you would be in severe pain constantly and would know straight away. Try getting a crep (sorry i dont know the spelling, but basically its a tight elastic material) bandage and leave it on it for support when your are moving around.\nOther then that, ice it for a while to make sre there is no internal bleeding, then apply a heat pack to it every half an hour for 10 mins and see if that sorts it out.\nYou should go to see a sports doctor or a physio either way, an ordinary GP will just refer you to a specialist if he does not solve it.
