Get seen again.: If your pain is getting worse, rather than getting better, you should be checked again. Sometimes a fracture won't show up on x-rays for 7 days. Also, some severe sprains need more aggressive treatment. See your primary care doc, and orthopedist, or a podiatrist.

Expected: It may be expected that it may hurt like that. However, if it is significantly swollen, or hurts a lot, or the pain worsens, you likely need to have it seen again and an xray taken to make sure nothing is actually broken.
