Tues evng i fell & sprained my left foot on the top & bottom arch of my foot, no broken bones. It hurts to walk on my foot or even apply pressure on it, I can't even use the ball of my foot for balance. Im not a light weight so carrying my weight around is tiresome worse when using crutches. A) I'm just trying to figure out when can i start walking again and how do i speed up the recov process time aside from the RICE therapy? I live on the 2nd floor of my building so going up and down the stairs takes forever & i cant seem to do it right (B. what is the easiest way to go up & down the stairs).On Sat i was going up & down my stairts using one crutch, i slipped & put all the pressure on my sprained foot. I felt pain & fell over (luckily not down the stairs), but when I looked on the inner arch under my foot it started turning black and blue. C) Did i tear a ligament??? Being an active person on foot, trying to stay home is hard. D) Is there any other way aside from RICE any exercises?

i broke my foot before and i was out of football for 4-5 weeks i was walking on it by 1 1/2 so wait a couple weeks and see how it feels. and ask your Doctor about a special shoe i wore it so my fracture wouldn't bend. it might help you
