Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have itching, burning sensation and shoot up sprained ankle . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like metabolic conditions can lead to burning and tingling in the feet nerve damage , nerve compression or infection . Diabetes is among the most frequent causes. In some cases thyroid problem can also lead to burning sensation. Infections can lead to inflammation of the nerves in the legs and feet . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI along with physical examination and treat it accordingly . Doctor may refer you to to neurologist for nerve dysfunction or podiatrist for food problem . For now do no wal much , take proper rest and keep your foot in hot water tub for 15 minutes .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
