Hello! Thank you for writing us here.
An injury like that suggests of a fracture and since you're taking very strong painkillers, it isn't hurting you.
You should get an X ray done and also, if needed, a plaster placed for immobilization of the foot so the reunion of the bone is proper. Also the painkillers would just help you with the management of pain but not the cause of the pain you're having.
So I suggest you to go for X ray and proper management of the injury.
best regards,
Dr Gunjan
