How To Cure Foot Injury After A Fall?

Hi, on saturday i tripped over and badly hurt my foot, i already have permenant ligament damage in the foot. i went to see a doctor today and they said i have pulled the surface ligaments. I can't really walk with the painful foot and there is a large amount of brusing around my big toe area and down that bone. So i was wondering if i could have a second opinion?

Dear friend ,a large amount of bruise tells that you have badly injured that foot.and there is every chance that you have injured the ligament of that foot.because in violent sprain,that happened in this case,ligaments are the worst sufferer.also your ligaments are already in bad shape as you have said.so there is hardly any reason that you should not listen your clinicians advice.
