How do i know if i have nerve damage from broken ankle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve Damage: This depends on whether or not you had surgery to fix the broken ankle. Signs of nerve damage are muscle weakness (not weakness due to pain), numbness/tingling, and loss of sensation. It is pretty uncommon to have nerve damage after an ankle fracture.
