    It is very hard to tell just by looking at the picture, but judging by the intensity of the pain (which according to your report seems high) you may have fractured one of the many small bones in your foot. In this case, you may have to have your foot in a cast or bandaged for a few weeks. You may also have only a contusion, but only an x-ray can tell exactly. Get Well!
