And I lost! A few days ago a flashlight fell on the top of my foot. After the initial "OH MY GOD, THAT HURT" scream...was the "this better not mess with my running" rant  . Needless to say, a big huge knot formed on the top of my foot and it's been pretty darn sore for the past few days. I went to the dr on Saturday and she told me to go get an x-ray on Monday. Today is Monday and I didn't go. I know my insurance will only pay for a part of the x-ray and we are pretty broke at this time.
It's still pretty sore on top when I touch it, but I can walk ok now and I can actually toe off, which I couldn't do yesterday. I'm hoping it was/is just soft tissue damage and not any bone issues. I really don't want to get an x-ray, but when I go out and run in the morning I don't want to be worried either.
Does anyone (Trent!!) have any opinions for me. How likely is it that there is a bone messed up in there (fracture)? Should I go out for a run tomorrow without any worries? Please tell me I'm fine

| Most foot fractures are not anything that require treatment and are fine if you take a wait and see approach for a week or so. If you can run relatively pain-free, that is a good sign. If it hurts to run, wait another day. |
