How long does swelling last after dislocated ankle?
4-6 weeks on average
Can you fix the nerve damage in the foot?
Yes. A full work up will be needed to determine if the damage is due to nerve compression. If that is the case, then a nerve decompression surgery can be done.

The effect wears off once the local anesthetic has been metabolized.

Foot infections?
It appears like you have plantar's warts. They can be treated topically or with laser or excision.
Sprained ankle?
Based on the severity of your pain and inability to weight bear, it is possible you might have torn one of your lateral ankle ligaments. I recommend an MRI.
Rolled my ankle?

What anesthesia is used for ingrown toenail surgery?
Local anesthetic
Is my foot broken?
Impossible to tell without an x-ray.
Toe question?
An x-ray will need to be taken to further evaluate. If the growth is a spur, it can be respected.

General Anesthesia
Injured toenail?
