What Causes Pain And Numbness Around The Ankles?

Hello, my is Clarissa and today my lower back leg area close to my ankles started cramping up. I was walking and it instantly became real tight and my toes started curling up. At first I couldn t really opened them but my mother-in-law advice me to massage it, so I did and it calmed down but it felt numb and still is numb a little. Now I got jerking and light tightness in that area. What is the problem?

Hello,

I believe it’s a sprain still I suggest you go for an x-ray of your ankle joint to be more clear about the cause, meanwhile you should do hot sponges and take Zerodol MR.

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