Depending on how large the fracture is, yes. I had a tiny fracture on the crest of my left hip and I've been able to walk fine. No pain when walking, but any pressure on the area made it feel sore like a big bruise.
Not really. It's unlikely that you would be able to put any weight on the injured foot, due to the pain and swelling. In addition, attempting to put weight on the foot may worsen the injury, particularly if the broken ends of the bone are misaligned. An orthopedist will evaluate your fracture and determine if surgical treatment is necessary or if your fracture can be treated with immobilization. You should not attempt to put any weight on the injured foot until your doctor has begun your treatment and advised you that it is safe to do so.
You can indeed walk with a broken metatarsal. As with most injuries of complex body locations, imagery is required in most cases to be certain a fracture occurred.
