Broken Foot (cont.)

Broken Foot Symptoms

  • Broken bones in the foot cause pain and swelling.

    • Usually (but not always) the pain is so bad that you are unable to walk. Broken bones in the toes cause less pain, and you may be able to walk with a broken toe.

    • Bruising or redness of the foot with a broken bone is common.
