    Re: ankle

    Hello,

    You're asking for medical advice, it would be a disservice to you to guess at it without the benefit of knowing your full medical history and doing a physical examination.

    You need to go see a doctor (orthopedic), neurologist for an accurate assessment and answer to your question.

    So, a good part of your leg is numb after you injured yourself 2 months ago. Hm... in my opinion you have waited way too long to see a doctor. If the injury is getting worse, not better the numbness and pain is your body's way of trying to tell you that something is wrong. See a MD, preferably an Orthopaedic surgeon. Just remember if there is any nerve damage involved here, once the nerve is shot, it is shot. Don't risk your health.
