Injury in foot
I fell down in the stairs a few days back. My right suffered an injury. It bruised badly and was badly swollen. I do have pain but I can walk easily. I am not sure if it's a sprain or a fracture. It has been four days and the pain, bruises and swelling are declining but it pains adversely on touching.

The only way to rule out a fracture is to do a xray.
Even if there is no fracture but you have pain and swelling, temporary immobilisation is recommended though a slab
