What Is The Reason For My Foot Turning Into Blue Color After Stepping Down After A Ligament And Tendon Reconstruction?
I had ligament and tendon reconstruction after a bad fall down the stairs where the ankle was badly sprained. they also removed scar tissue. They put me in a cast for 30 days and I am 6 days out of the cast and every time I put the foot down it turns blue/purple within minutes. There is a little swelling in the ankle still. Do you think this blue/purple color will clear up eventually or is this a complication or something I need to be concerned with?
