I broke my ankle 2.5 weeks ago and had surgery that day to put in 7 pins and a plate. up until yesterday my foot would swell and turn purple instantly when I would get up on my crutches or even just hand my foot down and it was very painful and on fire. Now suddonly today it is not turin purple and all I feel are pins and needles from my toes to my knee. I know there is blood flow and I can wiggle and feel my toes when I touch them. I called the dr on call and he said it does not sound like anything to worry about and maybe I just need a new cast. He said I could go to the ER but they will only split the cast open and look at the sides of my ankle, call him, send me home and then I would still need to see him for another cast. Should I be worried that all bllod flow will be lost from my leg in the morning...then I am in big trouble right?
