Since last Thursday, my foot has hurt quite badly, on and off. I saw GP on Monday, he said he wasn't sure what it was, but to rest it and come back in 10 days if it still hurts, at which point they'd send me for X-Rays.
It's been five days, and the more I rest it, the more it hurts. Walking seems to lessen the pain a bit. I've also been using Ibuprofen gel to dull the ache I get on and off.
If indeed I have strained/sprained it, why is rest making it worse?
