Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having stiffness following ankle sprain 5 weeks ago. Treatment of it is mobilization exercises of ankle with analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C are helpful in recovery. For tingling and numbness Mecobalamin may be of use. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
