If you have torn your ligaments, you probably have strained the neural tissue in the associated area. I would bet that you are having the ligaments repaired on the front-outer edge of your ankle. Following an ankle sprain/tear, you can damage the nerve that runs over the front of the ankle, and a nerve that is under the ankle bone on the inside of your foot. Either can cause a burning sensation esp. at night.\n\nIf the burning sensation is over the top of the foot, is the former, and if its the sole of the foot, is the latter.\n\nWhen you have your op. you will be in plaster for a few weeks. that should help settle it down.\n\nAfterwards, with post-op physio, you will get exercises, and probably neural stretches which will help.

*circulation problem\n*fungus among us\n*slight scoliosis, back problems, or one leg longer than the other, causing a different amount of pressure on both feet while walking.\n*see a dr. if your concerned

Not only does it pinch the blood vessels and cause your butt muscles (gluteus maximus etc) to starve, but you are also pinching off nerves which is why it can get numb.  Sometimes if you stand up after that long journey your feet get really tingly, it's for that same reason, blood is rushing through causing the sensation...it also feels really wierd.

Your body is retaining water for some reason. Are you pregnant? It's not just the ankles that swell when you develop toxemia. See your doctor.\n\nIt is also possible that you are allergic to something. What's new or different about your bed or bedroom? \n\nor\n\nYou had a case of the blues last night and cried yourself to sleep. Try applying a face cloth dipped in water as hot as you can stand it for awhile, than immediately switch to a cold water one. Alternate these for a few minutes and the swelling should go down.\n\nor\n\nWe're doing your homework for you here. Smart girl, if that's the case!

Depends on where the back pain is coming from, no? I know when my back hurts they tell me to lay on the floor and put my legs up on the bed...basically elevate your legs and stay there for a half hr if not more. \n\nWhile sleeping, I'm told to lay on my side and put a pillow between your knees.\n\nAlso, if you're sitting up on anything that doesn't have something to rest your back, make sure you are not slouching. \n\nIf you walk in heels and you bend your knees while while you step down on the foot, that could be the cause.\n\nHowever, since I'm not a physical therapist, don't quote me on all this. See a qualified physician that can give you safe, practical advice!

i walk around my house for a short period of time with ankle weights on, but don't use them in public.  don't use them to long or they could hurt your legs.

You probably have arthritis in your joints. If it is in both hands, you might want to see a doctor because it could be rheumatoid arthritis and that can become debilitating if not taken care of early. Another thought, is your bedroom kept cold at night? Cold temperatures can cause stiff, achey joints, so you might try raising the temperature up a few degrees before bed. Aside from that, take an advil every day to help with the pain.

This is definitely a strange sensation -- you get up out of your seat, and all you feel from one foot is an uncomfortable tingling. Or you wake up in the middle of the night, and you can't move your arm at all. And then, as your body part "wakes up," the strange tingling intensifies. Just what is going on here?\n\nUsually, you feel this familiar sensation after you've been putting pressure on part of our body -- sitting on a foot, sleeping on an arm, etc. When you apply this pressure for a prolonged period of time, you actually cut off communication from your brain to parts of your body. The pressure squeezes nerve pathways so that the nerves can't transmit electrochemical impulses properly. Nerve impulses carry sensation information from nerve endings in the body to the brain, as well as instructions from the brain to the parts of the body. When you interfere with this transfer by squeezing the nerve pathways, you don't have full feeling in that body part, and your brain has trouble telling the body part what to do.\n\nThis pressure can also squeeze arteries, stopping them from carrying nutrients to body cells. Without these nutrients, the nerve cells may behave abnormally, which can further interfere with communicating bodily sensations.\n\nDue to both these factors, the information transmitted from the body part becomes somewhat jumbled, and the brain receives strange messages. Some nerve cells don't transmit any information and others start sending impulses erratically. This causes you to feel a strange tingling sensation, which actually serves an important function. Your foot falling asleep for 10 minutes doesn't pose any health threat, but if you were to cut off circulation for an extended period of time -- several hours -- you could suffer serious nerve damage. The initial tingling sensation tells you that you might want to readjust your position.\n\nOnce you do move your foot, stretch your legs, or roll over off your arm, the nerve impulses begin to flow properly again. You don't regain feeling right away, however. There is a certain amount of re-adjustment time before the nerves transmit impulses correctly again. This increases the intensity of the tingling, causing the familiar "pins and needles" sensation.\n\nIf this has ever happened to you, you know that there are actually a few distinct sensations you go through as your body part "wakes up." The tingling may be followed by a more uncomfortable burning sensation, before your body part finally returns to normal. This happens because the nerves in your body are made up of separate long nerve cells that carry different sorts of impulses. These nerve fibers have different surrounding structures. Some nerve fibers have thicker "insulation" around them and so take longer to begin transmitting impulses properly after they've been squeezed. The fibers that transmit pain and temperature information are relatively thin, so you feel the tingling situations pretty quickly. Motor control fibers are thinner than the ones carrying touch information, so you can move the body part before you've regained complete feeling in it. Eventually, all the nerve fibers return to normal and you regain full use of the sleeping body part.

The pins & needles sensation comes from the blood rushing back into your limbs, after having been temporarily limited due to pressure exerted on your leg, foot, arm or other body part. When sitting in a certain position for a length of time, you may be cutting off the flow of blood to your foot. Since it seems to always be your right foot, then that's the side you probably lean on a little more than the other side, such as when you're reading (yes, many people read while on the potty!). It's a normal thing that happens to millions of people every day, so there's no need to worry about something being wrong with you. If you find that you HAVE to sit for long periods of time (on the potty), you might need to change your diet, so as to make your bowels move more comfortably. Talk to your doctor about it, and see what he suggests. <*)))><

Maybe you are sitting down for too long at a time or you have an uncomfortable chair.  You might want to get up every once in a while to get the blood flowing through your legs and body.    It also might be your posture.  I know what you are talking about though.

if you can, wear more comfortable shoes - also those insoles will help with your balance and circulation, also cut back on salt products a bit and maintain balanced light meals, fast foods tend to add hidden salt and diet pop's. if it continues, might want to go to a Dr to check for low iron etc as this will also cause swelling. After getting home, after being on your feet all day, soak them in hot water and then raise them up and allow the natural healing happen, it will make you also feel better and also another method is to lay down on your left side instead of right side.\nbest wishes to you -

elevate your foot and have some one massage it LIGHTLY if you have venous problems it will cause blood clots if rubbed to hard....have you ever seen the commercial with the massaging boots for tired legs? this will work wonders, my sister has used them and it helps

It's because when you're still for too long your circulation(blood flow through body) slows way down and doesn't get all through your extremities (arms and legs) properly.  That's what makes you feel kinda tingly. That's your body's way of telling you it's had enough of the computer chair and would like to go to bed.  Or get up and do some aerobics!

Yes, not only does it affect your back and connective tissue, it can affect your internal organs function as well. Excessive slouching also wears your shoes poorly and causes knee and ankle pain. So sit up straight, they way the body was designed to function.

The feet are the most dependant part of the body, meaning it is the lowest and blood is going to pool there. Also the venous blood pressure higher there due to the force of gravity. You may want to put your feet up above your heart to give those veins a break, or you can also wear a good pair of support socks. Other than that there is not much you can do about this.

Just like charbar I have that pain in my feet when I get up.You might want to see a chiropractor for a check up.It could be poor circulation of blood, or possibly pressure on some nerves in your back.I have some back problems myself.
