I was walking down the stairs, and I think I pulled something in my foot. The inside of my foot is swollen.?

Question

As well as the top. My ankle is fine. Has anyone done this to themselves? Any ideas what I did to myself?

Answer 1

A foot injury can be complicated. It could mean that you pulled or torn a muscle or a tendon or maybe even broke a bone in your foot. Can you walk on it? Does it hurt more when you wiggle your toes? I had a broken metatarsal bone in my left foot years ago. I had to wear a boot for 22 weeks.

For your own piece of mind, I suggest you go see a doctor, whether your family doctor or go to the emergency room and have your foot x-rayed. Many things could have happened to your foot and it is always a good idea to get things checked out.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon! I hope I was some what helpful to you!
