A member asked:
Sprained ankle 4 days ago diagnosed with right lateral ligament tear. under bandage over ankle and top of foot a little numb. severe swelling. is ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rest: Ice, compression, elevation. If swelling is severe i would recommend crutches with no weight bearing. If numbness is being felt, the bandage may be on to tight and you need to let the doctor know, .
