Twisted Ankle, Swelling, Toes Numb. Should I Concerned?
My daughter twisted her ankle playing volleyball and fell to the ground. Swelling started immediately, she is not able to put her weight on the foot and reports that her 2 small toes are numb. X-rays performed and were negative. Should we be concerned with the numbness?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
It is due to the damage of ligaments or can be a hair line fracture .For now apply crape bandage and rest your ankle for 1 week, you will be better after 1 week or 10 days. x ray is just to check whether if there is any fracture.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
