So the other day after my final set of bench press I accidently dropped a ten pund plate on the top of my foot from about 3 feet high. I have a nice bruise and swelling, slight pain and slight limp.
The problem is I cannot afford to get an x ray unless I really think something is wrong, which I am nto sure if its a bruise or fracture. Also, i have a screw from surgery in my foot near where the weight hit. I'm afraid because even though the pain is pretty bad I can still walk, which is what was the case when I had a broken navicular bone ( which required the screw.)
So... Do you think foot bones are strong enough to withstand that pressure and just bruise? Or does the slam have the potential to break bones?
