Twisted The Ankle. Having Pain And Tingling. IS It Normal?

I fell and twisted my ankle earlier today (when your foot rolls inward). I am able to walk with a little pain but it seems fine, no bruising or swelling , just my veins are more visible. I iced it, kept it elevated and it felt better, and better walking. I tried wiggling my toes, movement is limited but I can move them a little, the three outside toes very minimal. My concern is tingling I m feeling a few hours after the fact. It seems to go up my foot to my knee . I don t recall having this in past sprains. It s tingling like when your your leg is falling asleep. Is this normal? The foot looks ok otherwise. I ve had a few sprains before and had worse, swelling, bruising, unable to walk without cane, etc so I wasn t too worried about this one till the tingling started. Thank you.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The tingling you are having is likely to be due to a nerve involvement in the area. This is usually temporary and subsides once the local swelling decreases. You can use a crepe bandage to provide a good support to the injured area.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
