I sprained my foot a few months ago. Had a big knot along the outside edge of my foot, had to get crutches. It turned colors, etc. etc. I went to my chiropractor and he told me I should ice it for a couple to 3 days, not just 20 minutes off and on. He said that most people don't ice an injury long enough to get the swelling out of it so that it can heal properly. They wind up with a lot of scar tissue. He also said to keep it elevated when I could. I wrapped it with an ace bandage, and got crutches. It takes a while for a sprain to heal ... longer than a break in some cases. I couldn't walk on the foot at all without the crutches. He said to keep trying to move it around so it doesn't stiffen up and take longer to heal. If your foot is turning black, you should probably get it an x-ray to make sure you haven't cracked a bone. Usually something is broken if your skin is turning black.
go to the doctor. Wow that was a toughy
