Try rice diet: First try rest, ice, compression ( ace wrap), and elevation. If that doesn't help, see your local podiatrist.

RICE: Rest, ice compression and elevation. Stay off your feet as much as possible, ice 20-30 min several times a day, ace wrap if you have one and elevated above heart level or above if possible. Antiinflammatories as tolerated. See you doctor for a good eval. Dr l.
