a fracture is just a crack in your bone (doesnt break all da way)
a broken bone is completely split. |

It's a good sign if there isn't too much swelling. Still, if you can't put weight on it you should probably see a doctor about it. I might give it a day or two to see if there's any improvement, but that's more of a personal preference.
Either way, I suggest RICE (rest, ice, compression e.g. ace bandage, elevation) until you can get in to see a doctor. It will also speed up the healing process if the injury is not actually a break. |

what he said ^^^
fractures heal pretty quickly without being set(1-2 weeks) while a broken bone is set, and takes alot longer.(4-6) |
