I broke five bones in my foot 2 years ago. It was a straight crack, braking all bones just above the big cuboid bone (apologies im sure ive got bone terminology wrong). It took about 4 months to heal but after that no problems what so ever.
Until yesterday, since then the middle of my foot has been hurting. It aches all day but hurts more if I lift my big toe or touch the area. Its also looking slightly swollen.
I can walk on it but its painful.
Is it worth going to the doctors/a&e. Or can I just put up with it, without risking long term damage?

If the pain continues and isnt just a one off, it would be worth going to see the GP and asking for a referral to an orthopeadic surgeon.
They will hopefully send you for some tests, x-ray, MRI.
Not sure if this will reassure you but with 5 fractures, some pain and problems long term wouldn't be surprising.
