[|Human|] hello I went to er last night and the she didn t see any breaks or fractuers in my foot or ankle but couldn t know if any damage was done to any ligaments but the ankle was sprained but now my foot is so cold it feels numb but when I touch it it don t feel cold but its frezzing like on the inside why
[|AI|]  Well the numbness that you have after an ankle sprains brought about by 2 factors1) after an injury, the swelling compresses the circulation to the nerve and the nerve itself - so expect the symptoms to disappear together with the swelling2)stretching and compression injury to the nerves in your ankle that was caused by the ankle sprain itself. So expect spontaneous recovery in your case. The most you can have is an anti-inflammatory medicationtimeframe for simple ankle sprain recover is 1 to 2 weeks ankle sprain automatically means you injured your ligaments (hence the term sprain)injury can be in a form of overstretching to complete ligament tear. This can be furthered investigated once the pain and swelling subside and if you feel like you tend to sprain your ankle more frequently than before your injury. Chances are you have a partial or completely torn ligament. Merry Christmas :)
