Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Did Ankle Injury Cause Foot Cramp, Numbness And Tingling Sensation?
hi, i went over on my right ankle a week ago..didnt bother me at the time but 2 nights later got foot cramp and since then i have a numbness and tingly sensation in my lower leg and foot, which worsens when raised...and a vein in my foot was slightly bluging tonight after a bath.
As per the history this appears to me more of a venous insufficiency. I will advice you to undergo a thorough clinical examination and Doppler test for the venous system to rule out the venous insufficiency.
Also, there can be a possibility of the pinched nerve but less common by the appearance of your symptoms. but getting a Thorough clinical examination will help us diagnose and start the medical management.
