It takes longer to feel a pinch on your ankle than on your shoulder due to the differences in the density and types of nerve fibers in those areas. The shoulder has a higher concentration of faster-conducting myelinated nerve fibers, which transmit signals more quickly than the slower, unmyelinated fibers found in the ankle. Additionally, the distance the signal must travel from the ankle to the brain is greater, contributing to the delayed sensation.

My advice as a massage therapist would be to prop her leg up and put an ice pack on the ankle. Walking on it can irritate it and cause to take longer to heal. It will also make it feel worse and may swell more. Also take 2 Advil or Motrin as they are anti inflammatory drugs.
