How Can A Fracture In The Leg Be Diagnosed?
after taking a fall, and twisting my foot, i have foot pain along the left underside of the left foot. the pain is most acute (quick, shooting pain) when shifting weight from my left foot. how can i tell if i have a fracture, or an injured ligament or tendon, or whatever? It has been over 3 weeks, and the pain is not improving over time.

Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor ' service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
From what you have described, there is a possibility that you have suffered a fracture and hence i would suggest you to take X-ray of the ankle and foot and get a consultation with an orthopedician to rule ou fracture if any.
Hope it helped you. Let me know if I can assist you again.
