[|Human|] I injured my foot one weekend by coming down really hard on it when playing flag football. I went to the E.R because after R.I.C.E and anti inflammatory medication the pain and swelling did not subside. I got an xray then the doctor diagnosed me with a sprain. I ended up going back to work within a couple of days. I wrapped it while at work and tried to take time to rest it- although it didn t always happen. Now the bottom of my foot is in pain and my foot is tingling and sort of cold, for lake of a better word. I am going to see an ortho but the sensations in my foot make me nervous.
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As mentioned by you that, you faced an injury while playing a football, and you had ankle sprain. Now there is a change in the sensation if the feet, for me, it appears straight to the lumbar spine nerve impingement. As why this comes in mind is become of Two reason1. Tingling sensation is a direct indication of lumbar spine nerve impingement and 2. Due to the ankle sprain, your gait was changed and also during the duration of the pathology you were not able to take rest, so the lumbar spine has got sprain. By taking a thorough neuromuscular assessment and if the or tho feels he might tell you for Lumbar spine MRI. Post which you will be advised physical therapy, and you can be back to work with in 3-4 weeks. Also, understanding the mechanism or injury and coming close to the diagnosis helps to plan the better rehabilitation plan and an optimum results. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
