Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think he damaged his nerves while straining the ankle.
I think he can do a x-ray of the ankle to check for damages and consult a doctor to know if he has benefits from physical therapy or not.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
