    without a Dr and an X Ray, you wont know.

    Treatment - ace bandage, (on snug - to stop further swelling), rest, ice, and get it above your heart

    You may have hurt more than you thought and only a doctor (with diagnostics) can tell you what.

    First Aid for strains and sprains is R. I. C. E.

    Rest
    Ice
    Compression
    Elevate

    Anti-inflammatory medication will also help (Advil, Aleve, asprin).

    You could have broken a bone in your foot. I would strongly encourage you to visit a doctor.

    Yeah sounds like you may have broken one of the small bones in your foot. Best to see a doctor.

    Definitely seek a doctor! Are there any urgent care clinics around your area? They are much cheaper than a hospital emergency room visit and they don't take nearly as long. Most have x-ray machines so you should find out if anything is wrong.

    Go see the doctor... you may of broken a bone.

    Leaving a break untreated can cause much more problems.

    Rest, ice, and elevation for now. And a trip to the doctor ASAP--the only way you'll find out what damage has been done is to have a doctor look at it.

    Please see a doctor :)

    I injured my ankle last September... I was a runner. I never saw a doctor, and it got so gross and ugly! I regret not seeing a doc and I am just now starting to run again, and I still feel like that ankle is "weak" and it worries me. If I continue having trouble with it, I'll finally go to a doc.

    I should note I also felt pain in the front of my foot, but it only lasted a week or so and I think it was just "sore" from the way I twisted it and the way I fell.

    Don't put it off like I did! Go see a doc as soon as you can. :flowerforyou:

    As a random internet stranger I have no idea what the problem may be. You should ask a doctor. In person.
