<human>: I fell down the stairs 9 days ago. ER ruled out fraction and gave me an air cast. I still can t walk without crutches. Plus I can t move my foot, forwards or backwards. Feels like pins and needles all over my foot. Pain is on the front, outside and back of ankle.
<bot>: Hi, thank you for providing the brief history. As there is a small fracture as per the history what I am understanding I will advise you to keep the leg elevated for few times in a day to avoid the inflammation to aggravate. Also for the pins, needles, pains and not able to do certain movements of the ankle I will advise you to undergo physical therapy as by Therapeutic ultrasound the healing will be faster and also TENS therapy to reduce the pain. Exercise with the help of a physical therapist will help regain the movements faster. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
