Suggest Treatment For Swelling After Twisting The Foot

On Sept. 15 while walking to my office I twisted my foot under me, not an ankle, it was black and blue on the bottom by the pinky toe and through all the smaller toes on top and swollen. I've iced it daily and used heat at night. All the black and blue has left, I'm more modile as the days go on but the swelling is giving me the problem. Can't get the foot in a solid type shoe yet. i.e.-sneaker. I'm an active 67 female. Any suggestions???

Hi,

Apply warm compression, take NSAID like Ibuprofen with serratiopeptidase. Better to get X ray done once to rule out any fracture.
