Ankle injury requiring urgent advice!!!!
I hurt my ankle and got home from a&e with crutches and a referral to the fracture clinic next week, also a suspected soft tissue injury. However the metatarsals by my big toes and inwards have considerably swelled up and become extremely painful to touch. I can’t move my toes or my foot either, it feels as though there is nothing there (a sort of numbness). My foot is also considerably turned in, but I have tried several times to straighten it out but I physically can’t. I’m worried please help
