Hello,

You hurt your ankle today at track meet and are having pain, tingling and difficulty in walking. You are suggested to give rest to your ankle that is affected. Keep it elevated on a stool when sitting or on a pillow when on bed. You can get a crepe bandage done for relief but do not make it too tight, let it be comfortable. Take pain relieving medicines like Combiflam or Naproxen after taking food.

You can also apply pain relieving sprays like Volini for temporary relief. You should get it clinically examined by an Orthopedics, get X-ray and imaging tests done to detect any fracture, injury, trauma, ligament or tendon tear. If needed you may have to get MRI / CT done for detailed study. You will be treated accordingly.

You can take Nervup OD, for repair of the impinged / compressed or damaged nerves that are causing tingling sensation. Get clinically assessed by a neurologist, get NCV tests done if needed. You will be accordingly treated.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
