Broke Ankle In Three Places. Numbness In Sole, Extreme Pain In Toes. Having Flu. Caused By Flu?
I broke my ankle in three places last year. I could not afford to get it casted. No insurance. At first it would be numb on bottom of foot . Now extreme pain at my toes. Very white in color and very very cold . It feels like they are dying. That s the only way to describe the pain. It is severer. Freezing cold. I put in warm water and could not tolerate it. Then put them in cold water and I could tolerate it. This has just hit me today. I also just got over a very bad flu bug. Been vomiting and diariah for four days. I don t know if this could be a factor.

your flu is not related to ur ankle fracture .. ur foot is not properly managed so there could be some vascular and neural compromise . get it shown to the doctor and prevent the danger of gangrene formation
