Should I go to the hospital or not?

Posted , 2 users are following.

The other night I landed awkwardly on the side of my foot, and since this happened I haven't been able to put any weight on it. It's bruised with a blue tint underneath and I can feel a bump under my skin. I'm not sure if this is just bad bruising or anything worse, it's causing me quite a lot of pain, is it worth going down to the hospital to get it checked out?
