Hello,

It looks from your details that most probably you may have stretched a nerve supplying to your foot on inner side of your ankle.At present you should do following to have relief in this:
- Start wearing a below knee brace.
- Do rest. Avoid excessive movements.
- Keep your limb elevated on a pillow.
- Take some nerve supplements like vitamin B12 PREPARATIONS.
- There should be improvement in next 5 10 days. If your foot still continue to numb then you should consult to your doctor.

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

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
