What Causes Pain And Swelling In The Feet?

Three weeks ago I had frozen chicken (30 lbs) fall from 5 feet high onto the tops of my feet. Instant swelling led to a trip to the clinic. No fractures or broken bones. Brusing and swelling. We are now three weeks in with Prednizone burst...6,5,4,3,2,1,..Dicloneifac ..30 pills..Still severe pain...Feels as if it is in the bone..BUT..again..Dr says no fractures. What could cause such pain for this period of time and what else can be done

Hello,
It does sound like a fracture. You may need a CT scan to detect the fractures. Sometimes they do not show up on an xray.
