Hi.. If you have some swelling in the leg.most likely numbness could be associated with ankle pain... First thing you need to know what structure got affected in ankle...get it treated otherwise there will be over action of one side of muscles leading to soreness and swelling of the leg.. I suggest you to kindly meet a physio to know the exact structure affected and get it treated and do proper rehab... May worsen incase you ignore it.... Hope this is helpful for you... Revert back in case you need further clarification ....
