About a month and a half ago, I came down hard on my left foot during a game of basketball. I felt a pop, and fell to my knees. A few minutes later, the pain subsided and I continued to play.
My foot has hurt terribly since then, though I am becoming accustom to the pain. It certain positions, or with my work loafers on, it is excruciating. I've tried ice, elevation, and compression, all of which only bring temporary relief. I've even stayed away from any physical activity for two weeks now.
I know that sprains can take a long time to heal, but it seemed like such a minor thing at the time. My friend received a H.A.S. from basketball and was good to two month later.

Time to see the doctor. You may have a hairline fracture - or worse.

Did you ever think of going to the doctor? It could be broken. My friend in college broke his foot playing football with his friends and thought he just sprained it until he realized the pain wasn't going away. You need to go to the doctor.

You need to go have it checked. Torn ligaments and tendons can cause a lot of pain and do not heal on their own.
