I was jumping around with my friends and landed awkwardly on the top of my foot (like the laces area of my shoe). It hurt immediately and I couldn't walk on it. I went to urgent care, got X-rays, and they said they were surprised it wasn’t broken or fractured and that it looks like a pretty bad sprain. They gave me a boot and crutches.

There’s still a lot of swelling/bruising today. Should I get a second opinion or follow up with an orthopedic doctor, or does this sound normal for a severe sprain?
