Crush injury: A crush injury should always be evaluated by a doctor. The tissues are significantly damaged in a crush injury and both blood supply and nerves can be injured. Swelling is the greatest problem and you are handling the injury appropriately. Where your crush injury is it should be evaluated by preferably a orthopedist or ER MD as sometimes the Internist is not aware of the potential danger of crush

See a physician: While it may be a bad sprain it could even be a fracture or dislocation. See a specialist of the ankle and foot for x-rays and thorough examination.
