My foot is swollen and painful and I didn't do anything to it?
You have a muscle under your foot and like most muscles it has a tendon on it that for various reasons can shorten itself up. when that happens it pulls on the back of the toes and can do the same up the side of your foot. Here is how to release that muscle so you can start walking again: With the foot in your lap take both thumbs, side by side and place them at the back of the arch, just before the heel. Press them straight into the skin and hold a moderate pressure on them. Relax. After 30 seconds, slowly raise your toes up as far as you can, release the presssure but hold your toes up for another 30 seconds. Now you shouldn't have any trouble walking.

The initial pain is memorable, and the pain during recovery is nagging. It reminds you every time you stand up or sit down. There is very little you can do to relieve the pain.
