so I have an idea how much pain you're in.
Hurt mine playing basketball.
When the doc looked at it he gave me a heavy pain killer even though the pain hadn't settled in.
Sure did about an hour later.
Doc said I'd been much better off had I broken it.

To add to your situation - we don't heal as fast as we age --- BUT medicine has come a long way in 40 years since I popped mine.

one other odd thing - I have never had full feeling in half of my right foot since then.

ETA - good luck and good healing
