Answer 1

you need to put an ace bandage on it to keep it still and moving so much and stay off of it as much as you can... and take Motrin or Ibuprofin for the pain and swelling... if something happens it does get worse, you need to see a doc.... you can also soak it in very warm water and that will relieve some of the pain as well... and keep it well elevate dif it is swollen... hope u get better soon.

Answer 2

well if the pain is unbearable it might be fractured , so you should get an X-RAY any way , as for now you should rest don't walk on it , and put an ice bandage on it , but most importantly get an x-ray, and after that the doctor will know the treatment that suits your case
