Should I Go To ER For An Internal Foot Injury?

I fell 5 feet from a ladder onto my right foot. Fell on the heel mostly. Originally thought it was a sprain, but after two days I cannot walk. When I'm not on the foot I have no pain it's only when I try to flex it upwards or stand on it. I have a appt to see the dr. In 2 day but should I go to ER? Any suggestions?

Hello
Thank you for using healthcaremagic
I read your question and understood your concern
I think you should go to ER for evaluation as you may have fracture of the heel bone or other foot and ankle bones that mah need immediate treatment
