I have had no foot pain until I fell from a ladder taking something down from a shelf. as soon as it happened I could walk on the foot, but it was hurting all over. next day, still hurting and when I put any weight on foot to walk it hurt. there was a pooling of blood in my toes, however, my toes did not hurt. this all happened just after xmas 2013. went to family doctor, he said he felt nothing was broken, but to take an x-ray to make sure. the x-rayed showed no break, fracture, or soft tissue damage, whatever that means. I rested and elevated foot, along with icing it. areas of the foot was very swollen, but at this point could not pin point exact location of injury. I let a week go by, and called my doctor to say, I was not getting any better,and putting weight on foot caused pain. basically walking. swelling went down, blood pooled in toes are being absorbed from body. I now have an appointment with podiatrist 2/3/2014. could not get an earlier appointment. I feel I did some tendon damage, but will not get any answers until appointment which again is not until 2/3/2014. I hope I will. I now can pinpoint origin of pain which is left side of my left foot, and some pain on the top of foot. how should I treat this until appointment. I did some research, and it sounds like cuboid syndrome. if I am off the foot, I have no pain, but if I flex the foot, I will feel pain especially if I flex my foot to the right. read your last answer to person with foot pain. you suggested that he ask his doctor for a cortisone injection, which was something I was going to ask when I go for this appointment. what is your take on what I explained?
