Suggest Remedy To Relieve Swelling And Pain In Foot And Ankle

I fell off a step and my foot went off. I felt a crack across the right hand side of the foot but could walk ok, albeit with a limp. However, my ankle was also painful. That was a week go and the foot and ankle still hurt and there is still swelling lengthways on the foot. It is making my whole leg ache as well as my other leg as I put more pressure on that one.
