Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling sensation and pain in foot caused after ankle sprain . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like bone fracture mild or severe , tendon injury or ligament tear along with nerve injury or compression . I would suggest you to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain , apply cold compresses to ankle for first 24-48 hours and give proper rest ankle . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may examine physically , order x-ray or CT scan to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may give plaster in case of fracture or immobilize it with bandage in case of soft tissue injury and prescribe muscle relaxant , analgesic , anti inflammatory and vitamin supplement for quick recovery .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
