Could it be some sort of tendonitis? You can easily pull or lightly tear something in a foot without really feeling it until later. Does ice and/or elevation help?
My recommendation - Take ibuprofen (it's primarily an anti-inflammatory). About 20 minutes after you take it, apply low grade heat to your foot for about half an hour. Heat draws the ibuprofen to the spot of injury.
Then get ice and elevate your foot so it is above the level of your heart. Go 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off with the ice for about two to three hours.
Should the swelling return, do the same thing the next day.
