Feet swell
10 months back, My mother fell down on her feet. The feet was in the shape of inverted U. At that moment, the whole body weight was pointed on her folded feet. Later, her feet swelled severely. She consulted many doctors, everyone advised her to take rest and suggested pain killer tablets. She never took complete bed rest. she can't walk properly.

Hello... see condition is very clear, its a case of ankle sprain. In ankle sprain, due to sudden movement of ankle the ligaments and tendons get over stretched, due to that there is sudden onset of swelling and pain. So the treatment of acute case of ankle sprain is icing 2 to 3 times in a day for atleast 15 min and immobilize the affected joint and obviously complete bed rest for 1 week.
