I'm sorry! I'm glad you're planning on see a MD if there isn't improvement in 48 hours. I recently broke a few bones in my foot, and I would not have been able to tell the difference between a sprain and a fracture myself. As long as you don't need surgery, the main thing is knowing if and how long to be non-weight bearing and what kind of recovery time you need to allow yourself. You might need some type of boot as well, which will make getting around easier, but let's hope you are right and there is nothing broken.
Good luck. You are doing the right things for now.

Well Hell, my BIL the ortho, says it is a jones fracture... So staying in the boot for another month. I have ridden my bike very slowly, little resistance, on flat roads and it doesn't hurt - I think because I am primarily pedaling with my right leg. Of course I haven't gone more than 5 miles. So back to the RICE method and upping my calcium. My daughter pointed out that I can certainly do upper body and sit ups, etc. - my favoirite (not) We have a great SUB 24 planned for next weekend to a hot springs, I will be driving the sag wagon
