The foot has many bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, joints and soft tissue structures. Without a full history and exam, it is hard to say for sure the best treatment. A minor injury could be a sprain, strain, or contusion ... but occasionally a subtle hairline fracture or tendon tear could be the cause. It is best to get it evaluated by a Sports Medicine physician or even a Podiatrist or Orthopedist. Often rest, ice, elevation, or a splint such as a firm medical boot may be recommended in the short term. See www.AplusAthlete.com for more details or to make an in-person or TELE visit. - Adam Redlich, M.D.

If it's really minor, just rest and elevate.
