Why Do I Have Tingling Sensation After Twisting My Ankle?
Hi, I have twisted my ankle, it's not particularly swollen but does hurt to walk on. My main concern is the tingling I am getting on the top of my foot, it's like constant pins and needles. If I walk on my foot for too long it also starts to feel hot inside the foot but feels cool on outside

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The tingling sensation is from nerve irritation and should stop once the ankle is healed, but this can take months. The heat feeling could be from the nerves or from increased blood flow to the area that happens to assist with healing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
