Suggest Treatment For Red And Swollen Foot

My husband fell as he was exiting the pool yesterday. One leg has a swollen foot that is red. He has diabetes and not a lot of feeling in his feet but he says this foot hurts. Should we go to emergency, wait to call his MD tomorrow or just wait til it develops one way or the other.?
