Is Tingling And Cold Sensation In The Legs A Symptom Of A Torn ACL?
I fell and possibly hurt my knee because it hurts enough that I can t bear weight. My skin is also cold to the touch on my shin and foot and is tingling. Is the cold numb feeling typical of a torn ACL? It s not too swollen but the pain is on the side of the knee cap on down to the calf. 8/10 pain that got worse as the day has gone on.

Hi,
You can consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan to look for any possible ligament involvement.
Numbness is a nerve injury related sign and not commonly seen in ACL injury.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
