hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As mentioned in the history by you, you landed on the side of the foot, then getting a musculoskeletal assessment will be good on a safer note. Usually, at this position there is a sprain of the ligaments. Which takes about 2-3 weeks to recover. Also, the pain will come down in 2-3 days but the ligament healing will take some time. Also, if the foot gets swollen or painful after 72 hours of injury then an x-ray is advised.

Usually, by doing hot eater fermentation and slow ankle toe movements the feet is better.
