Answer #1

You should keep your foot elevated (meaning sit down on the couch and have your foot propped up on the couch and on pillows), you should ice it for 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off (no more than 5 times a day), and you should wrap it GENTLY in an ace bandage. Also, do your best to not walk on it.
