Well the advice from the qualified first-aider sitting in the kitchen is if its tight go to A+E, otherwise ring NHS direct and let them check through things with you

At the moment it seems to be improved if I keep it horizontal and wiggle my toes. But the moment I put my foot to the floor it balloons again.

Better yet, keep it elevated with respect to the center of mass of your body. I presume you had a serious sprain along with the chip. This entails lots of damage to small blood vessels. At least you made it through the weekend before possible complications became evident. I have known people who died because they were inconsiderate enough to have a complication on the weekend.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
