I fell and landed on my ankle, it rolled out and I felt a sharp pain. I couldn t really walk on it. I iced it all night, and now, the next day, I can still barely walk on it. It isn t significantly swollen, but it feels numb and very cold, which worries me. It also hurts about 5 or 6 centimeters above my ankle. What am I experiencing/what should I do?
Hi... Since there is a fall and significant swelling. If I were, I would have got an x-ray done for my ankle and check.after getting confirmed that everything is ok...then would suggest you. To continue icing frequently for 15 mins once in every 2 hours.make sure your body temperature gets back to normal.before icing the place again. To wear an ankle support...or keep it compressed by a compression bandage...keep it elevated...take rest... Numbness and chillness what you experience could be due to swelling even pain while bearing weight can be attributed to the same... Nothing to worry... Things will get alright Hope this is helpful for you...kindly revert in case you need any further clarification....
