Welcome to EmpowHER. I am so sorry to hear about your injury. Thankfully, there were no broken bones.
What was the extent of your injury? I am guessing with that amount of swelling and the weight of the forklift, there was serious muscle and tissue damage.
Are you keeping your foot elevated? Are you using a crutch or cane to keep weight off the affected foot? Have you been advised to apply an ice pack?
Anonymous, contact your primary care physician, who should be aware of the extent of your injury. Report that you have not gotten any relief from the pain killers.
