question: I am a healthy 65 year old woman on no medications. Last Thursday afternoon my right foot started to hurt on the outside, as if I had a blister. That side of my foot is swollen, but I can still walk and put my weight on it. Three days later it is still swollen and the swollen area is hard. Is there a possibility I could have broken a small bone ( I have no recollection or twisting it or feeling an immediate pain) and should I get an xray or see a physician or just wait and see if it gets worse?
