Question 1

i have a grade 3 ankle sprain  hurt it a month ago and now my hole foot is freezing cold...what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Get it Checked: Get it checked asap,Sprain does not cause your foot to freeze.It may be due to compromised Blood Supply.See your doctor asap or go to ER

Question 2

i have an ankle sprain, why shouldn't heat be used? my foot is freezing and want to warm it up but wasn't sure why heat packs can't be used?

Accepted Answer

Ice reduces swelling: Initially after an injury the tissues begin to swell, This can cause pain and stiffness. In the first stages after the injury ice is the best way to reduce that swelling

Question 3

i've had my leg in a splint for a week following a sprained ankle,  it was removed today,  now my lower leg/foot is cold to the touch,  what would cau?

Accepted Answer

Concerned doctor: Are there any other symptoms such as redness, sweating, altered sensations?  There's always a concern about regional pain syndrome in setting of trauma. Could just be due to the resolving edema and swelling from the sprain. Keep it elevated and try to move the ankle to prevent stiffness. Stay off it as much as possible.

Question 4

sprained ankle on 11-13 swelling not going down foot cold and pale pain in calf and thigh. on crutches and off foot entirely. pain unbearable at times?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist: You don't mention having it properly examined.  In addition to a full examination, proper diagnostic testing including X-rays and perhaps an MRI will be useful.  The condition (if occurred on Nov 13) is more than 6 weeks.  The fact that you remain on crutches is of concern.  See an orthopedist or podiatrist to have a proper assessment made.

Question 5

sprained ankle 2 weeks ago pain in joint in lateral side swell not going down in crutches and air brace foot is hard to move  cold to touch sometimes?

Accepted Answer

Sprained ankle: For a simple sprain 2 weeks is a little long to still have issues. The cold to touch is not good and may indicated CRPS developing. PLease go and see your doctor to get evaluated further.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

RICE: Rest, ice, compression, elevation.

Question 7

what do i do with a sprained ankle if i don't have crutches? do i have to hop on 1 foot all day?

Accepted Answer

: An enterprising young man would find a mop/broom or other long handle and figure out how to use it as a crutch.

Question 8

my sprained ankle was stablizing. podiatristat had to tape my feet for other reasons.  clip 1 corner of tape, sticks very hard. put ice on it?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure : I understand your question, but ice is good after a sprained ankle.

Question 9

what causes foot pain after a sprained ankle has healed?

Accepted Answer

Swelling: The residual swelling creates pressure on the nerves to the foot and ankle and thereby the pain.  Give it some time, a few months, for the swelling to go down and the pain will go away.  If not see your podiatrist.

Question 10

how come i get foot tingles from an ankle sprain?

Accepted Answer

Nerve damage: It's possible that when you sprained your ankle, one or multiple nerves were stretched and damaged resulting in a tingling sensation.  I would suspect this would resolve on its own.  If it doesn't, evaluation by your physician may be warranted.
