What Causes Pain And Swelling In Foot After An Injury?

I was at school this morning and my foot rolled and I feel down the stairs and landed on that foot. I fractured the same foot last spring! I could barley walk the rest of school and I couldn t put it flat on the ground. I tried putting my shoe back on and it hurt really bad. There was swelling and bad pain. I also had a bump on the part I rolled and feel on and I think it was a bone so I pressed on it and it went back in!!!! It really hurts and it s been about 11 hours since it happened. Is it broken or anything? Also I have a cross country race tomorrow should I still run?

Icing is helpful in reducing swelling. Its treatment is rest and analgesic. A plaster may need after confirming by x ray. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
