Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems that you have suffered a soft tissue injury of the foot due to the twisting. Even if there is no bone injury, provide adequate rest, avoid weight bearing, take a mild pain killer and do a hot fomentation in the area for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
