Could The Pain At The Top Of Foot To The Calf And Knee Caused From Falling From Stairs Be A Bad Bruise?

I fell down the stairs dragging my foot leg behind me. I have a rug burn on my Lower leg and pain in the top of my foot near the ankle bone. It aches right up into my calf andthe knee. Tingling sleepy feeling in my toes. Could this be just a bad bruise?

Hi
Your injury could be a ligament sprain or a hairline fracture.
Kindly get a Xray done
Take complete rest and get a plaster applied.
Good luck
