How To Cure Swelling And Bruising On Foot?
I rolled my foot to the side about 5 hours ago. There is no bruising and very little swelling, I cannot tolerate any weight on it. I do not have insurance so I am not one to run to the Er. Is it possible to have something seriously wrong without swelling or bruising?

welcome to hcm,
short answer : it is due to sprain in your ankle joint
detailed answer: some small sprains will not have severe swelling or bruising but you will have pain.
i were your treating physician i will advice to have rest for your ankle joint by applying elastic crepe bandage
the next thing is applying ice indirectly by wrapping in towel
i would advice you to take NSADIS for releiving your pain.
some manipulation of the ankle joint with experts also help.
hope this finds useful
