Foot trauma

2018-01-08 19:14:12
Got stood on by a horse (don't remember how as the horse fell) instantly bruised and swelled up and was in severe pain for 4 hours not able to walk. After 4 hours and painkillers and icing I was able to walk but within 1 hour I was back in agony. Woke up this morning swelling has reduced and bruising has come out and I can weight bare just sore to move it or touch. Assume this is just soft tissue? Swelling wouldn't reduce if it was anything more would it?
