Hi there thanks for your question at HCM.

Ice and rest usually give relief in pain and swelling over the first two days. But you are not expected to have pain on standing or walking in mild injuries.Such pain should suggest you to take your injury seriously to avoid long term ligament related pains. If you have any pain when you walk or stand on your injured foot, it suggests severity of injury and warrants further work up which will include a X ray at the least. As walking or standing includes weight bearing, it induces stress on the soft tissues of the foot and hence helps to unmask milder forms of sprain of these structures. No t having pain on movements of toes indicates milder injury

Hope this helps

All the best. Regards.
