If it still hurts when I put on shoes later this week, I'll get it checked out. I've been swamped at work and haven't had a chance to go in yet. I'm wearing sneakers, which feel best right now. Classy work attire. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1151058 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 13:14:47 +0000 LindsayInNY 1151058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any update @mediagirl: ?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1150784 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 11:43:00 +0000 purrpletulips 1150784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say get it checked out and X-rayed. My sister fell on some stairs and twisted her foot in high school; it looked similar to yours and turned out to be a hairline crack. My sitter felt pain when stepping down while on vacation and after several weeks went to get it checked and had actually fractured her heel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1149680 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 19:58:17 +0000 Penny Lane 1149680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>errrrg. that looks SORE! </p> <p>I am very much not a doctor person (haven't been since I was 13, other than necessary pregnancy and PP visits) but I would very much go get that checked! hopefully it's okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1149663 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 19:50:54 +0000 MrsStar 1149663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did you get it checked? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1147232 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 22:28:35 +0000 dojo 1147232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say get it checked out! I had a fracture in almost exactly that same spot once and it looked similar with the bruising. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1147225 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 22:14:11 +0000 Boheme 1147225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch!

That area is the base of the 5th metatarsal which is one of the most commonly fractured bones in the body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1147133 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 21:04:15 +0000 MrsRcCar 1147133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definatly get that checked out!

Yeah you need to see a doctor. You don't want to leave it and risk doing permanent damage to your foot! Hope it heals quick for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1147077 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 20:35:22 +0000 MrsStar 1147077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get it checked out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1147072 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 20:24:57 +0000 indi 1147072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with the PPs. I'd go get that checked. I hope nothing is broken! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1147068 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 20:17:01 +0000 LovelyPlum 1147068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything that swells that badly, I get checked out.

And feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1147043 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 20:05:23 +0000 ZombieBullfrogHoller 1147043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it takes a lot for me to go to the doctor for myself, as well. But, I'd be afraid that's a break or fracture. And like @BabyBoecksMom said, better to go and get it set correctly than it heal wrong and have to get it rebroken and reset in the future. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1146995 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 19:26:29 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 1146995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, definitely get that checked out! ouch!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1146994 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 19:25:40 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1146994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: sorry :-( I've broken a lot of bones (talk about grace). It's best to get that checked out and have it just be a bad sprain than to have it be broken and not set correctly. I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1146962 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 18:58:05 +0000 mediagirl 1146962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: No. Way. I have never broken anything before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1146950 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 18:45:53 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1146950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch!!! Yeah, the swelling and bruising are bad enough that you should go to the doctor, although I'm 85% sure you broke something. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1146946 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 18:43:57 +0000 MamaMoose 1146946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah you need to get that bad boy x-ray'd </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1146945 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 18:43:40 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1146945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch! I would get it checked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-it-take-for-you-to-see-a-doctor-photo-warning-foot-bruise#post-1146940 Sat, 12 Oct 2013 18:41:00 +0000 mediagirl 1146940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I jammed my foot under the linen closet door today (my gracefulness strikes again) and it hurt pretty badly. I sat on it a while and it seemed to feel better. A couple hours later, I noticed there was a bit of a bump.... And now my foot hurts and looks gross. I usually go to the doctor when I'm sick but I've been injured so many times in sports, I usually don't do anything about body injuries. </p> <p>Would you go in for something like this? A nurse friend suggested I should get x-rays... :-( </p> [attach=251/13/mukxse.450x600.20131012_191147.jpg]
