Would any know of a cushion that you could put under your foot,which can then be attached to a snow shoe(like they do walking in the Artic). Just so I can get round the house without too much discomfort.
Doctors appointment in few days time

Wouldn't a crutch be better?

If there is no obvious reason for the swelling or pain you may need to go to a walk in centre.

Is the foot red and feels warm, infoman?

If it is then you need to see the GP asap, ie today, as it could be cellulitis and you need antibiotics.

If it's from a sprain or something chronic then crutches might be better.

I would agree that if you haven’t injured your foot in any way a walk in clinic would be for the best - sorry about the ‘walk in’ bit obvs walking is painful right now.
If you have a walking stick use that for now and compensate with your other foot if you can.
Hoping you can resolve this sooner rather than later.
