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?
