will this foot heal
Hi,
I went to a general dr. after I fell off steps and landed on my foot the wrong way.
This was three weeks ago.
The Dr. advised me to stay off it.
She thought it was broke on the top part of the foot.
A few days ago I started to walk on it and now it is swollen and again difficult to walk on.
I don’t have insurace so an e-ray was not done or cast.
I have to be able to walk on this foot within two weeks.
She felt the foot would heal fine within time.
How long is this time when I can walk on this foot?

In the interest of saving money, you have lost valuable information. An x-ray would have helped determine what was going on. As far a sme guessing, it would not be prudent. Until you know more, I suggest you use crutches and remain non-weightbearing. Ultimately, a visit to a podiatrist or orthopedist would have been a good idea.
