What Causes Persistent Foot Pain On Bearing Weight?

Question: I fell 2 weeks ago and I'm still having foot pain when walking, esp. after sitting for long periods. It is my left foot, and when I move my pinky toe, it also hurts bottom left and top left. This area is also warm to the touch.
Brief Answer:
Bone injury likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The persistent pain on bearing weight and warmth in the area is likely to be due to a bone injury or a bone bruise. This can be confirmed after an X-ray of the foot. It is best to avoid bearing weight on the foot and do apply a crepe bandage. Doing a cold compress in the area and taking a mild pain killer will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
