Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Signs of a sprained foot include:

  • Pain and tenderness on the bottom, top or the sides of the foot;
  • Bruising and swelling of the foot;
  • Pain while walking or inability to put weight on the injured foot.

Signs of a broken foot include:

  • Immediate, throbbing pain that may be accompanied by foot deformity;
  • Swelling, bruising and tenderness throughout the affected part of the foot;
  • Difficulty walking or bearing weight – these activities should be avoided.
