Are you mad to jump like that?/
anyways now stop self diagnosisng yourself..go and see aorthopedician with the x-ray..he will read and tell whether a fracture is thee or not and whether it is serious involving operation to fix it or whether it can be treated with putting plaster cast..do not delay.
