See below: It could be that you twisted your left ankle and there is swelling on the tendon and nerve creating the tingling.

Foot tingling: Tingling in the foot and ankle can be tarsal tunnel syndrome which is an entrapped nerve in ankle radiating to your foot, or a neuroma, inflamed nerve in the ball of your foot radiating up to your ankle. For your job you are standing all day long, you need to wear wide comfortable shoes and put orthotics in the shoes to reduce abnormal pressure on your arches and ankles. Diabetes is also a cause.

Tingling: Because you state tingling is in your foot and ankle it sounds like tarsal tunnel syndrome. Seek the help of a podiatrist - orthotics are a big help and your podiatrist can get them made for you. Good luck.
