Worsened injury?: Your slip and fall may have just simply caused expected pain from the sudden forceful impact on your already injured foot. However, there is the real chance that you may have worsened your initial sprain, and would, therefore, need to be reevaluated by your physician, or at least make a call to the physician's office to ask whether you should be seen sooner than your already scheduled regular appt.

Get evaluated: Symptoms of nerve damage can range from a numbness and tingling sensation, possibly a burning sensation, to an uncomfortable painful sensation of the extremities. For some, these symptoms are mild, while for others, they can be severe and disabling. Neuropathy can develop as a result of a pinched nerve, trauma, drug side effect, and some diseases such as diabetes. See your physician.
