Probably: You need a foot and ankle xray if the following doesn't help: Ice it off and on for 24 hours, keep it elevated at or above the level of your heart, use crutches if needed, wrap the ankle with an ace bandage, and tape the big toe to the second toe, but put a wedge of gauze or cotton between them so they don't rub together. Google Tow Taping. You're probably not as clumsy as I am! Get well!
