My ankle is swollen and it hurts to run what is happening?

2 weeks ago i started football and i could run just fine for about a week. The next week the pain in my ankle started to happen the first days i though it was fine so i continued to run on about by the end the week i could no longer run. I looked on line it sayed it may have beed because my flat feet so i got an orthepedic pad for my ankle and arch but it only help when im wearing my shoe and i still can't run yesterday i looked at my feet and they were swollen up really bad. i iced them for about 20 minutes. i went to bed i woke up the next moring still as swollen as ever. what should i do and what is happening to my feet?

It sounds like you may have a stress fracture, see a doctor ASAP!
Reply:You may have broken a small bone. Playing football; you really need to get it checked out.
Reply:that actually happened to me like a year ago from track. my ankle was swollen n i couldnt physically run with my right foot... when i would lay down i would prop my foot higher on a pillow or a folded blanket.. something because the bad blood that caused it to leave my i was actually limping .. thats how bad it was for me..it just got better after a while for me.. but you should go to the doctors..
Reply:Tanner you may need to seek medical help. There could be something else going on that are showing it's symptoms in your feet. I would stay off your feet for a couple of days, it you experience swelling, apply cold compress. But you do need to see a doctor.
