Hello,
In your age bone are more pliable and instead of complete breaking sometime they bend. Looking at your mode of injury, I shall advise you to go to urgent care and at least have an X-ray to rule out a green stick fracture at your foot bone. Till then you may apply an ace bandage at your foot and keep it elevated on pillow.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
