How To Cure Numbness And Swelling Of Leg Due To Twisting Of Ankle?

Hello there, I’m 30 years old I twisted my ankle about 3 weeks ago and and it’s still swollen. I can walk on it fine but it’s still swollen. I’ve noticed numbness on my leg almost to the point where very little sensation is felt. Is this something that will stop as soon as my ankle heals?

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having swelling in your foot following twisting 3 weeks ago. You should keep it over pillow and do mobilization exercises of ankle joints. Swelling and numbness will reduce when ankle heals. You can take analgesics for pain and Mecobalamin for numbness. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
