Will walking on my swollen foot make it swell more?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Likely: Try wearing a compressive sock or stocking. An ankle brace is another idea.

yes: Until you find out the cause of the swelling is better to rest the foot, elevated. Swelling could be a symptom of a worse problem.
