Why Is My Leg Tingly And Numb After Ankle Sprain?
I sprained my ankle over 2 weeks ago and it was still a little tender but I could walk, jump etc. Now this morning it was getting painful again, and now, a few hours into the day, my whole lower leg is feeling tingly and numb. Are they related, does this happen?

The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day. I also suggest to maintain the are as immobilized as possible to avoid further damage.

Take care
