Swollen foot

2017-09-07 01:31:21
I was at soccer practice and one of my teammates stepped causing me to fall. I got home an hour ago and now it's red and swollen near my ankle where she stepped. I have a big game tomorrow and our team can't lose another player. I don't know if I should tell someone or just suck up. I'm icing it but it's not getting better

It can simple ankle sprain or fracture. Icing is part of treatment along with rest, compression bandage, elevation of limb.
Next Steps
It's better to evaluate the case, get xray of ankle and better to avoid the game to diagnosis is made as it may worsen your problems. Pain killers can also be taken to reduce pain and swelling
