numbness in heel after ankle sprain

about two weeks back I fell during a dance class rolling my ankle outwards.
i went to my physician and had an x-ray taken to assure nothing was broken.
i took care of my sprained ankle by use of the RICE method and now I have no feeling in the heel of the ankle I sprained.
it is completely numb to the touch but is not in severe pain.
what does this numbness in my heel mean, and how can it be fixed?

    Numbness can mean injury to a nerve. It may take months to improve. You should return to your doctor and get more information.
