Injured foot…

Morning all,

My son fell during PE a couple of days ago. There was only slight swelling and no bruising, so we weren’t too concerned.

The main worry now is that he’s still unable to bear weight without quite a lot of pain. Can’t stand flat and is hobbling around.

I’ve attached a picture and circled where he says the pain is. It hurts if I touch it and If it’s not elevated.
I think it’s too far back to be a 5th metatarsal fracture?

Has anyone had something similar or have any idea what it could be / advice?

Thanks in advance!

I think you need it looking at and getting an X-ray to be certain, there’s no swelling or bruising so I would want to get it looked at in case something’s torn or broken.
