i sprained my ankle 5 weeks ago. I try to stay off it and my job is a sitting one. I also wear a wrap to secure the ankle and help with the swelling. I originally had an xray that showed no break and I iced it and kept off the foot for a week. However, the ankle swells quite a bit each day and if I stand too long or walk to much, the swelling increases and the leg hurts. I ve also noticed a little bit of tingling in the top of the foot, along with a little pain above the heal and quite a bit of tightness from the heel to the calf. Another item I ve notice is that the leg seems to be cold to the touch. Is this normal for a sprain? I did not have an MRI but I have called by family doctor to look again at the xrays. I m not thinking that the sprain was more than a stretch of the legaments.
