Hi angie
First thing is to show to an orthopedist doctor.if there’s history of injury must be questioned with patient.An X-rays or MRI may be advisable.
Taking Motrin tabs thrice post meals daily and application of thrombophlebitis gel is indicated.keep foot elevated and avoid walking,use walking stick in opposite arm to take weight off the affected side.
If it’s post injury,hematoma formation is likely which should be aspirated and oral antibiotics must be taken
See a doctor he’ll help with diagnosis and treatment wear elastic crepe strapping
