What Does Swelling In The Foot Indicate?

I’ve previously broken my foot during last summer and the other day I noticed it was swollen again and it’s hard to walk on. It was swollen for about a week but now the swelling gone down but still sore to walk on,to move and even to put pressure on it. It’s cold most of the time since I hurt it last week and any time I rotate my foot or move it I can hear a clicking noise. I’m just wondering should I be worried about it.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Ya kindly do an X-ray and then consult orthopedics. It seems that you are having fracture, new one or old one is displaced. So X-ray is required.

Hope I have answered your query.
