[|Human|] I have a fracture on my left outer ankle that I got X-rays on and they say a small piece of bone chipped off and from there, a small fracture occurred. It happened 9 days ago and is still in pain but for the past 3 days around the area, around my toes, and the back of my leg is numb and tingling. What should I do?
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are having chip fracture of lateral malleolus of ankle. Treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. BK cast can be applied to give rest to joint. Tingling and pain can be due to swelling. Swelling can be reduced by keeping limb elevated on pillow. Active toe movement reduces swelling. Vitamin B and C help in healing. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you good health. Take care.
