[|Human|] I fell on a wet deck on Friday and my whole left leg broke the fall and my entire body weight fell onto it, and I have a swollen and bruised ankle, and the top of my foot is very bruised...additionally my foot down to my ankle feels tingly like pins and needles when I touch it...what could cause this?
[|AI|]  Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. As per your information, it's a physical nerve injury with, pins and needles sensation called as paresthesia which can also change to numbness.Also, it could be a common perineal nerve entrapment.It's usually a symptom related to a sensory nerve being damaged, diseased, or injured. These types of symptom result when some type of pressure being applied to a nerve directly or to the spinal attachment of that nerve. Physical therapy to build up and maintain muscle strength. Braces or splints to provide supportCorticosteroids injected to reduce swelling and pressure symptoms doesn't go, visit to your doctor. Hope this answers your question.
