Hi,
5 days ago I jumped down from a high wall and hurt the heel of my foot. I though that I had just bruised it but it swelled up.
Now it is very painful to walk on and is swollen at the ankle. There is a little bruising but not much. The rest of my foot is fine. There is no heat and I can move my ankle without a problem. I can put pressure on the ball of my foot without a problem aswell.
Do you think I should get an xray or is it just bruising that should do down?
Thank you for any advice you can give me.

 Sorry about the delay in response.
Any high impact trauma (e.g a fall from a high wall) that results in pain, swelling, loss of motion or function should be xray'd to rule out fracture.
How did things turn out with your foot?
