Ankle weakness and numbness after twist |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: I had an ankle twist a month back and it was a small fall from the stairs.I had not done an XRay since the bone were intact. After that I had put on the crape bandage and the initial muscle on the ankles stopped to pain after a week. However it has been a one and a half month now and even after putting on bandage the ankle and feet still feels weak. If I stand for more than 1 hour I start to feel numbness in that feet and in general it seems to be nerves related pain and not muscular pain. Please guide me what should I do. Dear Kitty: Depending on the severity of the ankle sprain (Grade I: mild degree of swelling and stretch has occurred to the ligaments. Weight bearing is possible. Grade II: moderate swelling and an incomplete tearing of ligaments, also mild instability may be present and also pain with weight bearing. Grade |
