What Is The Treatment For Sprained, Swelling And Tingling Foot?

I sprained my ankle 12days ago. I still have a lot of stiffness, swelling, tingling in the foot. 2 days ago, my fourth toes ballooned( if I didn t know better i would think its broken), but I didn t do anything to it.....it hurts to touch. I also have bruising to my toes that developed in the last 48hours....is tis normal?

Hi you have sprained your ankle 12 days ago and now have bruising in the toes and 4th toe has ballooned. In my opinion , bruising is not very significant but ballooning of 4th toe ,s. I would recommend you go for an urgent x ray and use some splint / crepe bandage for the toes.
