Foot still goes purple after 2 months.

I broke my left ankle (weber B fibula fracture) and tore ligaments on opposite side going on 10 weeks ago. I did not need surgery.I just got in a walking boot almost 3 weeks ago. Allowed to do some weight bearing and starting physio. I'm not healing as fast as Dr. would like. I do already have neuropathy from spina bifida and have a tethered spinal cord.

Go for more x-rays in 2 days and see Dr.

My concern is that my foot still goes quite purplish within seconds when I stand. Is this normal going on almost 2 and a half months later?

    Ive noticed my foot is a little "redder" than my other foot since I broke my ankle

    Probably a circulation issue???

      Yes, I think so. Sorry to hear that you're having a similar issue.
