What Is The Treatment For Foot Pain?

I have foot pain on the top of left with swelling X 2 weeks. I had injury in the same place one year ago. HAD a cast and foot doctor wanted to fuse my foot. Went to ortho , he said no on surgery and after 6 weeks was better. Had cast for 10 days than walking boot. SO now it is bad again no apparent injury. HOPING you can give me ideas. Thank you, Kathie SO SORRY I do not have credit card. Thanks anyways.
