Bit of an abrupt title. But i don't feel i can word it any other way. DS 8 went over on his ankle and really hurt the bit above his left ankle. We went to A&E as it swelled and he couldn't put any weight on it. No breaks just really badly sprained. Thats fine and good news! We went home after finally getting the poor boy asleep he woke and came through in the morning walking on his foot i asked how it felt and he said no pain. WOW that heeled fast i though then he said he couldn't feel two of his two i looked down and two of of his toes were red and swollen and he said they were completly numb. I said wed leave it a few hours and go to walk-in. A few hours past no change. went to walk-in nurse sent to A&E, the doctor saw him and said as he coldnt move it it was something to do with ligaments and he juts needs to rest it. I asked why it felt numb "sometimes that happens" Also said that theres no point in doing anything as he dosent use that toe to walk. We went home very confused, but believed doctor. Today not much change other than it slightly darker and he gets pins and needles in the whole front of his foot. Ive done stuff to ligamnet so has DH, three other DS's and two over DD and non of them have it numb and red. AIBU to think its something else?
