What Causes Numbness,tingling And Swelling On Foot?

The top of my left foot has been numb and tingly for the past two days and I noticed tonight that is swelling slightly. It isn t noticible unless I am looking at it from the side. My ankle is also slightly swollen. There is no pain, just the right side of the top of my foot and my toes are numb. It feels like my foot is asleep but I can move it normally. Is this anything I should be worried about? It has never happened before. I have tried elevating my foot but it did nothing. I have also tried to massage it to get the blood flowing but that didn t seem to do anything either. I haven t done anything to injure it either.
