What did the hospital tell you? They may have said that you did not break or fracture your foot, but something hurts, right?
Did they mention that you may have sprained or strained your foot?
Are you able to talk with your gymnastics coach, or call the orthopedist to ask what you should do for the next few days? Without knowing the extent of your injury, the common practice is R.I.C.E. Rest (stay off of your foot, let pain be your guide..if it hurts, don't do it!). Ice (ice is important in the first 24 hours). Compression (wrap your foot with a bandage). Elevate (keep your foot elevated to reduce swelling).

Good luck, and let us know what the doctor says!
