A member asked:
I you have already torn ligaments in your foot and then injure the same foot again and it doesn't swell what does that mean?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nothing to tear: Since ligaments are already torn they wont be anymore tearing with a new injury so no swelling. Also, you may not have injured it enough to produce any noticeable swelling.

Means: Just what you said you injured it but no swelling. It still may show up but if injury is to same spot get it checked.
