How can swollen purple discolouration on the foot be treated after a bone fracture?
Patient: Broke the three middle bones in my foot 12 weeks ago. Still dealing with swelling and my foot turning purple especially around my big toe. Not sure if this is normal or something to be concerned with. A compression sock helps with both symptoms however if not wearing the pain comes back. Thank you.
