Hi, there!
You must make X-rays to confirm/deny fracture.
Swelling and pain when steping on foot is common in both cases (sprain or fracture).
Its better to use crutches for 2 weeks even when sprain confirms.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
