I broke my foot one of the same times I broke my arm. I was rip-sticking around my grandma's pool. There was a hose out that I don't know I got too close to or whatever and and clipped it and fell and I I landed on my arm clean my broke my arm clean through but then I also ended up broken my breaking my foot at the same time. I'm not entirely sure what or like how I fell on it that made it it but I was in a cast for a couple months afterwards.

I broke my foot when I was dancing. I broke, it's called the cuboid bone in my foot, and I was doing ballet at the time, and I was doing a turn on pointe shoes, and my foot fell off of pointe and went forward and around, and so it popped. I like heard the pop, and it hurt, like it didn't hurt bad at first, like at all. I thought that I just like rolled my ankle and I was fine, and then it like slowly developed after my adrenaline went down, and it got more and more painful and more and more painful, and then the first round of x-rays they couldn't find anything, and then the second round they did load bearing x-rays, which is when I had my weight on it, and that's when they saw the fracture.

So there can be several causes of breaking a foot that are pretty obvious. But I think one thing that might not be obvious is that you can make it worse. I broke my foot when an individual, a large individual fell on it with enough force to break it when I was playing volleyball. But that was probably just a tiny hairline fracture. And I walked on it all day, actually went to a wedding that night. And that definitely exacerbated the situation made it way worse. So if you think you broke your foot, maybe don't walk around for an entire day.
