I've sprained mt foot befre and my ankle. This just feels weird. I was walking in platform heels and i stepped on a curb and twisted my ankle. It dident hurt for about a block of walking but then i started to feel pain on the ball of my foot. its just increased over the past few days. my ankle is fine but the ball of my foot is killing me. the pain comes and goes, but i've been walking on the side of my foot for hours to prevent pressure on it. huh.gif

Well based on the way that you sprained your ankle this may not be a routine sprain. Many fractures occur when one steps off a curb and twists the foot. Also, the persistence of pain is also an indicator. My recommendation is that you make an appointment with your podiatrist for an evaluation and x-rays to rule out a fracture of the foot.
