How To Treat Foot Pain Caused After Injury?

I somehow injured my foot last night. I have pain on the outside of my foot. It hurts to walk. There is no swelling or bruising. There is a good amount of pain after I use it or if I start poking around with my fingers. I'm thinking I might have sprained it.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have foot pain caused after injury .

Doctor may order x-ray or CT scan along with physical examination like movement . Doctor may give plaster and fix the foot , prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory along with vitamin supplement for quick recovery .
