Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you have severe spinal stenosis due to this you have numbness in your foot and you got your ankle And foot sprained. You need to visit doctor to get x ray done. As you have severe spinal stenosis so I think you should get your operation done to relieve compression on spinal cord. You can discuss with 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.
