I recently increased my distances. I moved up to 50km, then 55 then 60km. I did notice numbness in my left ankle after 65km

Tuesday this week I rode between 65-70km. I did not overexhert myself and travelled at a casual speed, though it was very windy on the way out. I stopped for lunch at about 35km and then turned back. Total time including lunch was about 4hrs. I did not notice any major issues, excepting my ankle was again numbing. I awoke the next morning (Wednesday) with my left ankle very swollen and numb, almost asleep. As of today, Saturday it was still swollen though swelling had decreased but numbness persists..

No swelling and no issues whatsoever with my right ankle.

I have not rode since as trying to let heal.

Today I went to an LBS to purchase some unrelated items. The mechanic and I talked and he asked what type of pedals I had? I said SPD pedals. He suggested that they don't have enough "float". I didn't have the shoes or pedals with me, I ride well worn Shimano SPD shoes and pedals as they allow me to walk around while riding. I do have orthotic inserts within my shoes. I did take those shoes in when getting fitted for othotics and no issues per the technician

I would post photos but keep getting a message with "ALERT" when trying to add to thread???

Any advice??
