I slipped and fell yesterday and rammed my foot into the wall hitting my big toe and the second toe. Now the top of my foot and almost up my ankle hurts to bend. What should I do.

Rest prevents further injury and avoids stress on already inflamed tissue. Put the ankle joint at rest by wearing a brace or splint. Ice is probably the best treatment. Ice will counteract the increased blood flow to the injured area. It will reduce the swelling, redness, and warmth. Applied soon after the injury, ice will prevent much of the inflammation from happening. U should do an X-ray of affected foot as well
