A member asked:
I rammed the back of my ankle with a grocery cart. the pain moves around on my foot and sometimes a lightening pain up my leg. is it the nerves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: The nerves in that area are fairly superficial and can be injured in a blunt injury. Should resolve pretty quickly, if not I would not hesitate to be seen.
