What Causes Severe Pain And Bruising On Foot?

I was trying to get my very large and heavy trashcan to the curb today and dropped the edge of it on top of my foot. I was wearing flats, therefore the top of the foot was exposed when the trashcan fell on it. The pain has increased throughout the day. I have a very small bruising and little to no swelling, but it has a feeling of tightness internally. It is painful to walk or flex my foot upwards. I would say the pain comes and goes from a 3-5 on the 1-10 pain scale. I soaked it in a hot bath, but that seemed to make my foot ache more. The lack of swelling or heavy bruising is why I didn't go in for an xray today. Could the injury be more than just soreness from the fallen object?
