Dear friend, welcome to HCM.
yes, you could be right. if a nerve at the ankle was damaget due to the hit, it could have caused hypoasthesia (reduced sensation) in that area and hence the altered sensation.
pl. see a neurologist to get this confirmed as, reduced sensation can make you prone to unnoticed injuries to the foot and complications.
take care and keep me posted on your progress.
