Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the ankle arthroscopic procedure.
During this procedure, the nerves can be disturbed.
This can cause tingling sensation after the procedure.
It usually goes away gradually.
I recommend to use ice compresses to help with the tingling sensation.
I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen.
If the symptoms continue, you can see a physical therapist for better recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
