A broken bone is much more painful than a sprain and has less mobility. Bruising will show up. A sprain is still painful, but you can move it more and bruising won’t show up as worse as a broken bone.

Answer:

In general, a broken foot tends to be more painful than a sprained foot, and the pain lasts longer. Bruising, swelling, and tenderness are also more severe if your foot is broken. Another way to tell the difference between a broken foot and sprained foot is the sound the body makes when the injury occurs.

Hope this helps!
