thanks for asking.
in your condition, an important thing to consider is possibility of any grave injury to nerve and fracture. These can only cause serious numbness.
I suggest a routine xRay of leg should have ruled out such possibility and the associated tendeness and pain would get subside by few weeks.
Best will be to take up this issue to the treating Ortho.
I find this answer helpful
