[|Human|] Hello, I broke my ankle (bottom of the fibula) 2 days ago. The pain hasn t been too bad, but then through the night Ive been getting a painful, tingling, burning feeling in the heel of my foot. It was on and off through the night but now it s permanent and painkillers aren t helping it. I wasn t sure if I should go back to the hospital because they did talk about going back if I got a constant pins and needles feeling, but this is only in my heel at the moment?
[|AI|]  There can be many reasons, if you have been applied splint or a cast and your outer and upper side of leg is under pressure, there might be a nerve irritation (perineal nerve).  Again due to injury there can be nerve irritation, as near upper part of fibula there is a course of your Perineal nerve.  Kindly check the sensations to your feet, move your toes. Anywhere you feel a tighten cast do visit the surgeon.
