Cold/tingling foot after fall
Posted , 3 users are following.
Last night I lost my footing coming down the stairs and fell. I immediately felt pain in my ankle, but nothing severe, just like I'd bumped it. It was on the inside of my right ankle just above the bone and right away a small purple bruise appeared. It wasn't very painful, I could walk no problem, I just knew I'd knocked it. Also no swelling. Within 5 minutes, my whole foot felt numb and tingling. This sensation has continued. Numbness, tingling, pins and needles sensation, occasionally a deep burning itching sensation and strangely a really cold/wet feeling (even though my foot is dry) also the area just under my big toe feels like it's getting an electric shock/jagged with something anytime anything touches it (even clothing lightly brushing over the area). Anyone any ideas ?

It sounds as though you might have torn some ligaments or tendons? I'm no expert though - just someone else with an injured foot! If it doesn't clear up in the next day or so then a trip to the minor injuries unit may be in order.

An XRAY will only show a fracture tendons and nerve damage will require an MRI
Good luck . Feel better
