Hi Charlene,

Try resting and elevating your foot also use ice to help relieve swelling. Aleve is a good antiinflammatory medicine use it as needed.

Hope that you get to feeling better...

I totally agree with reply #1.

The RICE protocal:  Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate

Get some ice cubes and put them into a plastic zip lock bag.  Sit or lay down (in a recliner if you have one.)  Wrap your foot gently in an ace bandage and raise your foot (above your heart if possible).  Put the ice pack on your foot for about 10 minutes then off for 10, repeat, repeat............aspirn, advil, aleve, what ever kind of over the counter pain reliever you have will also help.

Hi Charlene! That must have really hurt! If I were you, I would see a doctor and get your foot checked out. In the meantime you could ice it. I hope it is nothing more than a sprain and you will be better in no time.
