Really hurts... help?!
Question: I was playing lacrosse with a few friends in the gym... since the season starts in a few days. I didn't notice getting hit or falling oddly on my leg, but when I went home, I noticed a searing pain in my lower calf (it feels like in the bone, not a muscle-related injury) whenever I step on the ball of my foot. I'm gonna go to the doctor in 2 days because that's the first time I can go. The pain is so unbearable that I scream if I put too much pressure on it. I just broke my thumb, so I know what it feels like for something to be broken, and I hurts just as much. Any ideas?

Yeah I have plenty of ideas for you. One is to stay off of it as much as possible until you see a doctor. While your waiting for the doc. you should be icing it for 15 minutes and heating it 15 minutes for an hour in the morning and an hour at night. If you are able to with no allergic reaction to Ibuprofen, then I would suggest taking some for the pain. It doesn't sound as if it were broken, but I am not a doctor, I am a Sports and Fitness Trainer.
You could have some issues with your foot as well. Just stay off of it. The doc will probably x-ray to see the problem. Hope this helps. Good luck..
just dont move so much..u could make it worse
got to walgreens or cvs and get some crutches or go to a clinic
its broken.
Try not to walk on it and stay in bed and relax :]
Just rest it and don't move it too much. And stop putting pressure on the balls of you feet of it hurts!
