I was out on Tuesday night in a fab new pair of high heels and I had a bit too much to drink and went over on my heels on a flight of stairs. Luckily some guys begind me caught me and stopped me going down the stairs but I did go over on my foot further.
It was painful at the time, but started to wear off. By the time I woke up the next day (yesterday morning) it tingled slightly but went away a couple hours later. Here's where it starts getting weird. When I finally moved from bed once the hangover had cleared, I put my weight on both feet and tried to stand normally but the foot I hurt(my right one) buckled slightly and I limped around for a couple hours, but without pain. Later last night it started to feel stiff and tight. It took pressure better but still felt off. Today I did an 8 hour shift at work and as the day went on it began to gradually feel slightly uncomfortable and even a little painful at times, and when I put my weight on it although it still wasn't fully painful, I really felt the pressure on it but not my other foot when I was stannding straight with even distribution. I then bought a tubigrip and put that on it after work around 7 hours ago. Its since felt more uncomfortable and more increasingly painful and has began to look a little swollen but not much. The pain isn't agonising, its more like a mild ache, enough to register as there and annoing but nothing significant.
Any advice? Also is it safe to keep the tubigrip on over night or should I remove it before sleeping?
