Foot and ankle is swollen
My foot has swollen on the side of ankle. I never met with any accident. I bought a new pair of shoes which is little tight. After wearing for few days my foot on the sides near little finger started giving lot of pain. So I stopped wearing shoes. But ankle is swollen and it's been 5 days. I have pain while using steps but while walking it normal. Again while going to bathroom indian style it pains on the back of the ankle. Please advise

Use ice pack over ankle for swelling. Once swelling goes down...do ankle toe exercises.
