strange swelling on foot

[john1975]

hello, could someone please tell me if this is normal.  I posted a pic as well.

I've got swelling & minor pain just south of my ankle on my right foot...in that small area where all the veins seem to bundle together.

I was mowing the lawn about 2 weeks ago...and while I was going up against a hill, I believe I rolled my foot a little.  

But I still have the swelling & i'm not completely sure if that incident had anything to do with it.

Is it normal to have swelling in this particular region of the foot because of a foot injury of putting additional pressure on the right side of my right foot ?  I know for sure I didn't roll my ankle, but I did have additional pressure on the right side of my foot when going up that hill, because I was mowing it on an angle.  

When i touch the area that is slightly swelled, it doesn't feel like a mass or anything...just a swelled up area.  But then again , i'm not a doctor so I don't know exactly what it should feel like.   It just feels kinda light & puffy.

But the main question is....so I could try to rule out anything more significant....Is, if its normal to have swelling in this area from rolling my foot ?  

I don't have money to be going to the doctor if its just because of a minor physical injury. (i'll deal with it)

But if it could be cancer, i'll get money to go get it looked at.

My left foot is completely fine.  No pain and no swelling at all.

Any expertise advice without just saying "go to the doctor" would be much appreciated.

thanks   (and sorry about my toenails , I guess I should of cut them before taking the pic :-/ )

I thought I was as specific as possible.  Or even overly-specific.

geez.

What more could I say ?

Hi John. I think the reason you are getting no response is that it is all very vague. Maybe if you could take a better picture? While you know where your ankle looks not normal it actually looks okay to me from that particular pic. You could need some type of orthotic or it might just pass.Not much help I know, but maybe you could be just a little more specific?
