Suggest Treatment For Bruises And Pain In Foot

I fell off a stair last Friday and thought I broke my foot. I went to an orthopedic doctor for x-rays and review. It was determined that I fractured my foot (I do not have the medical paperwork in front of me). Long story short, 5 days later and the bruising is getting worse along with internal pain. I can barely walk on it without a very sharp pain. The outcome was a post op boot, using the RICE method (relax, ice, compress, elevate). I worry that the bruising is moving to my toes, even though the swelling is down. Should I be in a boot or a cast? Should I get another x-ray by another doctor?
