i was told i had a moderate sprain in my foot (not ankle) its been a few days and i still cant weight bare on the affected foot. As well when i attempt to move my toes it doesn t hurt (to a certain degree of flexion) however there is a strange tingle that runs through the top of the foot when i do so. Is this normal for a moderate sprain?
Hello, Thanks for writing to us, I have studied your case with diligence. As per your history pattern there can be persistent tear in ankle ligament. I will advise doing MRI ankle for soft tissue involvement. Till time, you can continue physiotherapy exercises and also use supportive splint or brace. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS will help in early healing. If there is complete ligament tear then arthroscopic ankle ligament repair can be done or if capsular tightness is severe then release can be done. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health
