you need to stabilize your joint with a splint or a crape bandage( whichever possible)for 3 weeks till the healing takes place
avoid taking weight on your left foot
walking with a limp is a better way
you can take over the counter painkillers for pain relief
apply contast bath I.e. alternating ice and hot pack about 3/4 times a day
