What Causes The Leg To Be Cold And Blueish Colour?

Hello. I rolled my right ankle about 10 days ago in the park, on the uneven grounds/grass. I did not have any bruising, however, it swelled up slightly right around the bone. I didn t see a doctor because it didn t seem serious as the pain was manageable. I am on crutches now because it is painful to walk on it or put any weight. I have used the RICE method. My concern is that my leg is always cold, whether compressed or not. It changes colours ie blueish, purple from time to time and the it is very tender around the bone. Are these normal symptoms?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you have ligaments injury .There is collection of blood in the tissue and this is getting dissolve so you are seeing colour changes. I would suggest you to take a x ray and make sure that it is not a hairline fracture.
You will need splinting. Walking cast can be applied so that you can walk also. I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
