How To Treat Pain And Bruise Under The Foot?

Hi,

I played football on Saturday and was involved in a very strong challenge, leaving a stud mark and bruising to the underside of my foot. I played on but woke the next morning in excruciating pain and a fair amount of swelling. I spent most of yesterday with an ice pack on it, as I couldn’t put any weight on it. This morning the swelling had decreased significantly and I am even able to put a bit of weight on it. At first I thought I may have fractured a bone in my foot because of the swelling and pain, but now I’m not so sure?

Would you recommend I get it x-rayed, or shall I just stop all physical activity for a few weeks and save myself the trouble?
