Lift your foot. Hold it there. That's "keep your foot elevated".

Typically what you're referring to is when a sprain or break happens (or possibly a burn). The first aid would be to keep the foot elevated to ease the swelling and keep circulation flowing until medical help arrives.

Your doctor will tell you to go home and keep the foot elevated. This means put it on pillow, not up in the air but slightly higher than you hips. Keep it there, relax, have someone bring you a bell and ring for service.

You sprained your foot now your toes tingle when you move them is this normal it has only been 2 days since you hurt it?

If you had it xrayed, and a fracture was ruled out, to me this seems to indicate that the foot is probably still swollen. Yes it could be normal. Rest it, keep it elevated. Take anti-inflammatories, and ice it occasionally.


What could it mean when a tattoo on the foot swells up almost the whole foot within the first week that it is done?

This isn't that uncommon. I call it "jelly foot". Feet tend to swell more than other areas of the body when tattooed. Most of the time, if you'll keep it elevated as much as possible, the swelling will go down within a week. If it doesn't go away within a few days or becomes too uncomfortable, phone your tattooist or seek the advice of a physician.
