Sounds like: a simple contusion ...if it doesn't resond to ICE, ELEVATION and REST for 48 hours an x ray to rule out small FRACTURE is indicated! Hope this helps Dr Z

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?
