Hi. 2 days ago i sprained my ankle. I went to the hospital had xrays taken and they said its not broken just badly sprained. There was no swelling or bruising. There was/is pain radiating up the outside of my leg upon flexion of my toes..but today i noticed im having numbness and tingling in my toes and foot along with pain. Should i be concerned?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. Although these categories should be investigated and ruled out by your doctor. Therefore local trauma is most likely. Anything that impinges or damages a nerve could be responsible, ankle sprain. The strange thing about nerves is once damaged, healing may never be complete. So some people have a chronic symptom similar to yours after a crush injury that otherwise heals completely. You should visit an orthopaedic surgeon. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
