Injuries to your feet and ankles are quite common and can even result from overuse.
The good news is that they’re usually not serious so, in most cases, foot and ankle injuries don’t require immediate medical attention. In fact, many injuries can simply be treated with rest, ice, splinting, and over-the-counter medications. But, if you still have symptoms after two days of self treatment, or if your pain gets worse, you should see a doctor.
On rare occasions, foot and ankle injuries can become more serious. For example, if you have a wound on your foot or ankle that does not heal or becomes infected, you should see a doctor immediately.
