Stop eating red meat. If the pain stops. It's probably gout. See a Doctor for treatment.

If it's an injury due to trauma or over-activity: Warm compresses and immobilization. Not much else can be done outside of surgery. Which is rarely reccomended in the distal extremities.

Friend of mine just broke his.
Hospital fitted him with a boot.
Took about 6 weeks to heal.

Yes, I broke a metatarsal bone a few years ago. Get walking as soon as the pain is bearable. I needed an orthopaedic boot at first to be able to put weight on the foot. Immobility ultimately does more damage than the original injury. It took over a year before I could walk entirely pain free again.

It may have been from dropping a 40 ouncer on his foot?

Seriously a broken bone is in the foot can be very painful. He will probably need some 40 ouncers to help.

Prepare for a painful 6 weeks minimum!!!

A metatarsal fracture may take from 6 weeks to several months to heal. It is important to give your foot time to heal completely, so that you do not hurt it again. Do not return to your usual activities until your doctor says you can.

Feet can be a complicated body part which we all tend to take for granted. Lots of moving parts in there and lots of pressure.
