What Is The Treatment For A Swollen Ankle?
I went over on my ankle yesterday and while running and it made an awful crack sound, walked home and put my foot up as my ankle had swollen, today it feels numb like pins an needles down the outside edge of my foot and liitle toe, anything to worry about?

Hello,
You should go and check it because if you have a fracture of the ankle you may need a cast or surgery or if it is just a distortion of the ankle you may need only a pair of crutches and keep it without putting weight on it for 3 weeks. Make sure to check UT with an x-ray.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rezart Cipi
