What Causes Swelling, Bruising And Numbness Above The Ankle?

Hello, I was hit by a kid driving a go cart. The impact was straight on into my right ankle and the force caused me to flip up and over the 5 foot length of the car. I had swelling, bruising and numbness above my ankle on the front of my leg and the same on my three little toes on the right foot. This happened 10 days ago. I had X-rays taken and thd doctor said they were clear. My foot near my toes seems to be getting puffier. Should I go back to the doctor. Or does this seem normal?
