Sprained ankle

(3 discussions)

I sprained my ankel a week ago. I’ve had a little pain and swelling since then. Today I noticed pain in my calf area and tingling on the bottom of my foot. I have an appointment with my doctor in a week, should I see someone sooner? Is there something I can do besides RICE and ibuprofen to get some relief?

    If you are already doing the common sense RICE and Ibuprofen, then see someone sooner if you are concerned.

My foot also gets num and tingley every couple minutes. I went to a cyropractor and it helped a little should I go see a doctor instead?
