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.
