Foot injury
Not sure where this goes but I'll put it here since this forum gives the best advice.
I suffered a foot injury a few weeks back from, I think, unclippling.
The pain was on the bottom left of the foot. Did the usual ice and kept off it and it got better. Now the inner foot is sore and swollen because of overcompensating on that side, I'm guessing. For whatever reason its a difficult injury.
The pain is on top of the foot just up and to the right of the bump on the inner ankle. Its been swelling on and off for about 3 days.
So, do I do ice and heat or just ice? I've been getting conflicting opinions on and off line.

Seeing a Doc is a good idea. In the meantime, could you walk a 1/2 mile or mile on a flat walking path? Sounds like you have a strain, and gentle exercise
(and avoiding strenuous stuff) for a few days often helps. Ice afterwards.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I'd say see a Dr as well, as you may also have a fracture.
As to what to do when it flares? RICE
Rest
Ice
Compress
Elevate

I can walk on it, but I think I'll just take it easy, get pampered and watch a lot of football today.

Heat actually increases the histamine reaction that occurs with injury.
