I stepped on my sons shoe and twisted my foot yesterday. It instantly swelled up, and the pain is almost unbearable. The pain is on the side of my foot by my little toe. The pain seems to be getting worse and is constant. The pain also shoots up almost my whole leg. It even hurts as bad when I am not bearing any weight on it. I can not even let it lay on my bed or pillow or anything, that seems to make it even worse. I don't want to go in to see a doctor and find out it is just a sprain and waste my time or the doctors. Not to mention looking like a big baby. Any suggestions?

Yes this should definitely be seen by a dr. Even if it is a sprain it's best to have it confirmed by a dr to be on the safe side. My rule of thumb (I also have a lot of health problems so I am basing this experience on what I'm going to say) is that I would rather overworry and have my dr confirm to me that it's nothing to worry about than to find out later I should have done something sooner and have them ask me why I didn't come in sooner.
Please see your dr to make sure this is not a break of a bone.

way of treating ur pain with out medicine.
