"Missed fracture"

I came into A&E as I had hurt my foot. I had an x-ray and I was sure it was broken because I heard a cracking noise when it happened. However, I was sent home and told everything was fine and I just needed to rest. A few days later I got a call saying they have seen a fracture. This made me a little worried because I had been walking around on my foot thinking it was fine. I could have made it worse.
