Swollen foot
I was at soccer practice and one of my teammates stepped causing me to fall. I got home an hour ago and now it's red and swollen near my ankle where she stepped. I have a big game tomorrow and our team can't lose another player. I don't know if I should tell someone or just suck up. I'm icing it but it's not getting better
