I'm 14 and yesterday I was standing on a chair and I stepped off and I got severe pain in both of my feet.My right foot stopped hurting but today my left foot still hurts when I walk, stand, and run on it. I'm slightly limping but not enough to use crutches. I think I'm going to wrap it up for school tomorow though. My foot is also slightly swollen, tender and black and blue(bruised)not all over but in the middle of my foot where it is tender. My foot is also warm and pink and my anke is xswollen/round and hurts. this has happened before but the pain has always gone away like it did in the right foot. Should I be on crutches and should I wrap my foot. If I do should I put some kind of padding like a gauze pad underneath the bandage(ace bandage) to make it more comfy. If not can you reccomend a different padding if I should use it. also is it possable that my ankle is sprained and I am feeling the effects more in my foot from walking on it. and should I elevate it at school

My ankle is also painful when I walk on it and when I move it. it also is swollen and so is my foot. and my ankle and foot both feel better when I don't move it and when I elevate it.It also hurts to climb up and down the stairs. would flip flops be good because not much pressure is applied to the ankle. I'm not limping that much but I am slightly limping

would a brace with an ace bandage under it be good or w/out the bandage it hurts if I don't wear the bandage. would it also be a good idea to wear the bandage to bed and put ice over the top of it. should I get ice at school. and I also can't stand on my tip-toes w/out them hurting
