Pain/altered gait: Foot pain or deformity can cause an abnormal gait pattern and as a result cause pain in the foot, knee, hip, or even in the back. I'm sure you have been evaluated by an orthopedic specialist. If you have not you should follow up with one. Your foot should be evaluated and the deformity corrected by conservative measures or possibly surgery. An evaluation of your knee is also needed. Good Luck!!

I fell on the stairs and landed on my left knee and foot. Now the side of my foot hurts a lot, if I need to walk on it the pain is like 9/10. It's also very swollen around the lateral malleolus. Does it just need rest or do I need a doctor?
