Suggest Treatment For Swollen Ankle And Foot Numbness

I sprained my ankle a month ago. The main swelling has gone, but it still swells up when I walk on it and I have numbness on the top of my foot. I have been in a CAM walker for 8 days and the problems persist. I also have achilles tendinosis but is unrelated to the sprain.

Hi, there!
Foot is the farest place from heart (pump) and it takes few months to fully recover sprained ligaments.

Keep You foot elevated, when not walking.
Kinesiologic taping is good method to decrease swelling and cure numbness.

I hope this helps
