Suggest Cure For Pain And Spasms In Foot

I twisted my ankle a week ago and experienced swelling around the ankle bone and the front of the ankle and part of the top of the foot. I did the R.I.C.E. and the swelling is virtually gone. I can walk on it without too much problem. However, my little toes and part of the outside of my foot feel a little numb/tingly and I have occasional spasms of pain throughout my foot. Is this normal? If so, how much longer will it take to fully heal and can I do anything to help it heal?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
you probably had a ankle sprain, and healing with RICE did well. now you will need a X ray to see if there was accompanying injury to the fifth toe bone at the base. it that comes out to be normal, then you should not worry and should give yourself some more time to heal.
