Ankle Got Twisted, Sore And Tender, Tingle, Numb, Painful Limp. Treatment?
I had twisted my ankle about 13 or so hours ago. When I twisted it, I had heard a pop. The inner part of my ankle is very sore and tender and now my toes and my leg are starting to tingle and become numb. I am able to walk with a limp but it is becoming somewhat painful. Is there anything that I can do to help it heal quicker, besides R.I.C.E?

HI
Thank for choosing HCM
Ankle joint injury particularly twisted one causes soft tissue inflammation with mild to moderate muscular injury, some time bony structure also injured, to rule out these x-ray, of ankle joint is must, if turned negative then no need to worry, in such case you can apply crab bandage in right way and have NSAID, keep the foot elevated, this will come around, but may take little more time, take care have nice day.
