heel injury

Question
My daughter injured her foot by jumping in a concrete indoor pool.She jumped it suddenly to save her 3 yr old son. I assume she landed on foot with full impact. She is overweight.She has not been able to step on that foot since. Has been applying ice all day. Should she have xrays, and when, its been about 12 hours.could it just be a sprain or a break. there is no bruising, just some slight swelling. thanx. please rsvp asap

Answer
I'm sorry to hear of the accident. Medical advice is beyond my expertise. Ice was probably a good idea, but it certainly sounds like something a doctor should look at. Even without bruising, it could be broken. I think you should take her to a doctor as soon as possible.
