I recently rolled my right ankle. Had it in a DJO Global air boot for a week. After healing up, I have noticed pain shooting up the back side of my calf, my knees and my hip all on on my right side. I have also had weakness and numbness in my leg. When I rub or scratch the top of my right foot there is a Painful numbing tingly sensation on the whole right side of my foot, predominately the pinky and other last 2 toes.
You might have hurt the delicate ligaments and tendons of your foot. There might also be a mild nerve entrapment. Ligament and tendon injuries usually take 4 to 6 weeks to heal and since your injury has happened last week, it might still be sore and therefore the pain and discomfort. Please allow yourself rest from heavy physical activities using your affected leg and foot. You can apply ointments containing muscle relaxants and pain relievers to feel comfortable and also use a heat pad on your foot. Avoid wearing tight shoes for a few days as you are having pain in the toes.
