Potential fracture

I injured my foot in a football match, and I carried on playing with some pain. However about 30 hours after the injury my foot is swelled and bruised in the navicular area. I have fairly good movement but I cannot put any weight on it. Does this suggest a fracture or just heavy bruising?
Thanks, Chris

    Without seeing or examining your foot I can not be specific. My recommendation is to have this looked at. An x-ray or further testing may be indicated. Until you know more, you should probably use crutches and keep off the foot.
