Never 2 late 2 wrap: Do the wrap after the foot has been elevated 4 a while so the swelling is minimal. Do this especially if U R having trouble with it. A trip 2 Ur ortho is not a bad idea if it continues 2 B a problem.

No: Wrapping it is a good idea. Use an ACE bandage. Rest, ice, elevation and compression (the ACE bandage) help. I recommend you see a podiatrist for evaluation and treatment.
