Fell down stairs 5 days ago. left shin is still very sore and there are parts of shin that feel numb. top of toes and ankle are severely bruised.

Expected.: This sounds like what one would expect after smashing the shin with the edge of a stair. Nerves in the local area have been damaged and will repair with time. Gravity pulls the blood down to your feet and causes the bruise. Should get progressively better.
