What Is The Treatment For Pricking Pain In Back Of Ankle After Playing?
Um, hello i recently played in a football game an on one play i felt sharp pain in my ankle an thought nothing of it but now if i run my finger down the bone on the back of the ankle it sends pins and needles into my foot, just wondering what i should do
I have studied your case with diligence. As per your history and injury pattern there can be ankle ligament injury. Instability may increase due to laxity of ligament. Nerve injury can lead to pins and needle sensation.
I will advise to MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement. Till time you can continue use supportive splint or brace. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
