Is Twisted Foot Followed By Bruise And Swelling On Top With Little Difficulty In Walking Concerning?

Fell at work today on sidewalk, twisted foot, have bruise and small swelling on top of foot. Walking is difficult but strangely it feels better when I have weight on it than when I lift it up. Can wiggle toes. I have iced, wrapped, and elevated. What are you thinking?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Don’t worry ,this is twisted foot leads to ligament and muscle spasm. The swelling need to be packed with compressing wrap for 10 days. You should raise it when you are sleeping. Use diclofen potassium 50 mg 3 times daily in oral and cream for one week. The swelling will relieve and the spasm will end. You should decrease walking for 2 weeks.
