It depends: Without an exam, it is difficult to tell. Sounds like posterior tibialis tendon pathology or possibly plantar fasciitis. You should see a podiatrist to see if you need support, immobilization or stretching. The cause dictates the treatment plan.

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?
