How To Treat Swollen Ankles, Foot?
I walked a lot over the past few days. I hurt the top of my foot and thought it was the shoes I was wearing but the top of my foot remains very swollen.. It has also been making a crunching sort of sound.. Feels like it s coming from my ankle tendons..

It can be ankle synovitis or tenosynovitis. I would suggest you to get MRI of the ankle to confirm the diagnosis. If there is any positive on MRI then you can receive treatment accordingly. It can be steroid injection in tendon sheath or ankle joint. It would also be helpful to use hot water fomentation and compression bandage. You should also apply voletran ointment.
