Why Is Pain Persists On Foot Even 2 Weeks After Falling?

I fell on my left foot 2 weeks ago and went immediately to the ER. they said it was bruised metatarsals and gave me a tall walking boot with instructions to use the boot for a few days to help with mobility and ice and rest when possible. It has improved but the pain is waking me up at night. It is centered at the base of my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th toes and in the middle left side. I had stopped wearing the boot and was using shoes with memory foam. Should I resume wearing the boot or go to a specialist to get further X-rays?

Hi
You should continue with the boot for now but you need an MRI of the foot to check for fractures that might not have shown up on x-rays
