Sprained Ankle, Asleep Feeling On Bottom Of Foot. Normal With Sprained Ankle? Healing Period?
Yes I sprained my ankle last Saturday, went to the doctor on Monday and he put me in a gel ankle brace and gave me crutches. I have black marks along the back of my heel and the swelling has gone down only a little bit. X-rays were taken and there is no break. What concerns me is this "asleep" feeling on the bottom of my foot. Is this normal with a sprained ankle?? I am off work until June 12. Could it take longer for this to heal?
