Hello, if your sensations are intact, no need to worry. Just keep your feet clean and elevated on a pillow and take some analgesic till you see the doctor. Thank you
Take rest , keep your foot clean and watch for signs of inflammation.
You can start analgesic and anti inflammatory. Take vitaminD with calcium do hot and cold fomentation Apply crepe bandage. it will take around 2 -3 weeks more to heal completely
Take care.
