I sprained my ankle about 3 hours ago and I immediately felt Pai. Shooting from my foot next to my shin and end immediately under my knee cap. For the last 2 hours from my knee caps down have been freezing and nothing my husband or I can do can warm it up. What is happening?
Hi, Freezing sensations are common after a sprain. It suggests inflammation and soft tissue injury. But we should definitely rule out underlying fracture first.  So consult an orthopedic doctor and get done a clinical examination and X-ray of affected ankle. If X-ray is normal then no need to worry about fracture.  Avoid weight-bearing. Avoid mobilization. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  Apply warm water pad on affected areas of the ankle.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
