What Does Severe Pain In The Left Foot Indicate?

I have severe pain in my left foot. I cannot put pressure on it or walk on it. The pain travels up my foot and into my lower leg. I have had ever in the past but never a pain in this area. The pain is terrible. It started yesterday morning and is not getting any better.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
May be you are suffering from ankle sprain. You should avoid massaging, instead you should use crape bandage around your ankle & foot. If pain is severe you can take analgesic. If pain does not subside within 24 hrs or swelling appears, you should go for X-Ray of the affected part.
