Suggest Remedy For Sprain In Ankle
I believe I sprained my ankle while gardening, I don t remember doing it but I played soccer the next day while it was stiff and it s now feeling like a sprain. I woke up this morning and my leg has been slightly numb since, about 5 hours. Is this just a side effect?
