<s>[INST] I sprained my foot last sunday. Yesterday it poped and has a burning sensation over it. Last September I sprainded it real bad, and got the results of a high sprain. It really hurts, its swollen, lightly red, and lightly bruised. Also I have had foot problems ever since I was a little girl. After all of this I can t afford to go back to the doctor. Putting ice on it makes it worse. Whats going on? [/INST] Hello,I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to a foot sprain. I suggest:-Stop any physical activity that causes pain, and keep your foot still when possible.-Ice your foot for 20 minutes 2 to 3 times a day. -Keep your foot raised to help keep swelling down.-Take pain medicine such as Ibuprofen if you need it.Hope my answer was helpful.If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.Kind regards!
