Third Degree Sprain, Angular Fractures. Fitted Walking Brace, Pain, Toe Numbness. Due To Brace?
I suffered form a third degree sprain with possible angular fractures 3 weeks ago. I went into the doc and they fit me with a walking brace and x-rayed it. I went back two days ago the recheck went well and we moved down to a smaller brace. I now am experiencing an extreme amount of pain again as well as the toe next to my big toe is numb. Is this related to the 3 week old ankle sprain or is it weakness from the brace?

Hi, welcome to HCM
THey have shifted to on smaller brace then also you are experiencing the severe pain , which may be due non healing of fracture or too small brace.
Numbness is usually due to weakness of limb since it is immobile for 3 weaks.
Consult your doctor as soon as possible, so that he can change the brace as needed.
Thanking you.
