Hi,
Thanks for your query.

From the description that you have provided, it seems that you have suffered a musclesprain. Avoid massaging the area. Doing a hot fomentation will be helpful.. Avoid weight bearing on the foot. Keep the foot elevated on two pillows while resting.

In case the pain is persistent even after taking a mild pain killer, then you might need stronger prescription medicines like muscle relaxants after consulting your orthopedician.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
