Hi, Im just wondering whether or not it's normal for my 9 weeks post ankle surgery foot to get a reddish color when down? I did notice my toes are getting more a normal color, but the rest of my foot is discolored. I have 1 plate 2 screws. Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts are welcome.
