Injury to top of foot (ligament?)?

I was playing soccer and I got a cleat in the foot. It was very painful but I played through it. It's been about 3 hours now and the pain is still there plus theres lots of swelling on the top outer part of my foot. Not so bad walking, mainly hurts when I raise my toes. What's up?

You need to see a health care provider and let them examine your foot to make sure you don't have any damage. You may have ligament or tendon damage that would require surgery, or you may just have a puncture injury that will heal on it's own. There's no way to tell without an exam.
If it is a ligament or tendon injury, the longer you delay the more difficult it will be to treat.
