Unless she did something that would cause a break, I can totally understand why the doctor didn't want to do an xray.  You want to protect children from radiation if you can.  Is it red and inflamed looking?  Could be infected rather than broken?  I would definately take her back and get it looked at again.  Hopefully you get an answer this time.

I can't believe they didn't xray to start with she could have a hair line fracture that is causing the tissue around it to swell. Yes I would insist that someone give her xrays be it your regular doctor or a new one.

Either take her to another doctor or insist the current one take xrays. Poor little darling could have had a broken foot for over a week!

My daughter has a bump on her foot and she says it really hurts.  My wife and I took her to the doctors and he said it looked like it was a muscle.  He didn't want to do x-rays or anything.  This was about 1.5 weeks ago.  It's still there and it's bigger now and it hurts worse.  How can i make them do an x-ray and do you think she needs one?
