Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I sprained and slightly fractured my ankle 1 week ago. I have bruising up my shin and all around my foot/ankle area. My toes on the injured foot are blue in between and underneath and sooo cold, I feel like I am standing outside in the snow. Is this cold toes/foot due to the injury, over-icing or is it something else? Am I receiving enough blood circulation in the toes?
Your symptoms are suggestive of low blood supply to the shin and foot. For this reason, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
