What Is Causing Numbness In Toe And Tingling In Heel After Ankle Injury?
My son injured his ankle last week playing football, the Dr. said he has a high ankle sprain and placed him in a cast. My question is since his injury he said his toes are numb and his heel is tingling. I am concerned about nerve damage. They did an x-ray and no fractures were observed.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your son and the injury that your son got, let me tell you that it could be soft tissue injury and this could cause the soft tissue swelling too and this types of injury could manifest tingling and numbness but no need to worry about this because this would come around after the healing of injury hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
