If ice doesn't work: it is still appropriate to consider the other parts of the regiment.These include rest which if you have to be up in about means limiting your activity a/f being cleared by an MD; or a walking boot. Compression which may mean an ace bandage and elevation. SEE a podiatrist to confirm the diagnosis, as you may also have A peripheral neuropathy. finally discuss orthotics and physical therapy with MD.
