Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Numbness On Ankle Post Injury

I got kicked really hard in my ankle during a soccer game about a month ago and it got really bruised and really swollen, the bruising went away but the swelling has only gone down a bit. My ankle is numb, as in I don't really have feeling to it anymore, what do you think is wrong?

Hello
Welcome to HCM.
It may be due to hair line fracture or strain or sprain.
Take paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain and swelling.
Consult your orthopedic doctor for x ray ankle and further management.
Take care...
