Dani - While you don't have insurance you do have the option of going to an urgent care or walk-in care clinic for treatment. These services generally are at far lower cost than an emergency room visit and they can prescribe pain medication if needed. The general advice for sprains and possible stress fractures is to rest and avoid placing additional strain on the injured foot so it can heal and to consider using some type of brace for support.
