Hello,
I would like to ask ,wether you got xray foot done to rule out any fracture?if xray report shows no fracture then it could be tissue inflamation and accumulation of food,which can cause swelling,and numbness because of irritation of supplying nerves.
You may take anti inflammatory and pain killer medicines .And if swelling and no sensation of foot then you may need second opinion .

Dr.Maheshwari
