Suggest Remedy For Ankle Sprain & Ligament Tear
4 days ago I got a severe sprain on my right ankle. Now my toes are very purple, my 3 smallest toes tingle through out the day. My bridge and ankle on both sides are black. The mornings are the worst with pain. I did have X-Rays done an hour after the injury. ( doc. Said no breaks ;however, my ligaments were torn.) should I be concerned with the tingling?

Ideally a slab or splint should be put to releive the pain. Take Analgesics and anti inflammatory medications ( Diclofenac + seratiopeptidase ). Tingling is due to the increased oedema. Rest,Put Ice , Compression - Crepe bandage should suffice , Elevation of your leg. Follow these to reduce the pain.
