Should I Go To The Emergency If Having Pain, Swelling, Lump On Foot After Hurting It?
My weight came down hard on the left side of my foot as my foot slid in my untied shoe. There is no bruising but some swelling and a hemotomo type lump (that is hard and does not move) on the bottom of to the left of the arch. I have been icing it an cannot put my weight on it without pain. I can touch the top of the foot and even rub gently around the lump, but it is painful even though not excruciating. Should I go to emergency room?

further workup will be accordingly
