Its distribution is probably a little bit about the surgery and casting affected. It happened to my cousin after several knee surgery, and once he was able to carry the weight on one leg, he left.
Take It Easy and quiet, and when you go to them to be better.

If you are concerned, super, just call the Dr. 's office and let you know if anything on.

In addition, little legs, like toes and fingers, the first to lose blood to keep warm the body. The region was in surgery can be more oxygen, allowing more blood to use in order to cure his car.

Hope this helps

It is the accumulation of blood in the foot due to lack of movement. You lose the feeling of more blood in the foot. Call your doctor for confirmation, but may be normal, was depending on the type of operation you.

as soon as possible, call the doctor's office, the toes black and blue, but
If the return to normal color and black and blue ciculation can be cut off. Without the blood supply to the tissues and must be amputated in May. Call now ...

The cast is too tight, and when blood flows in his pool, swells, and you see a color change. The doctor may be able to relax iron, not him.It contact normal for a tingling sensation can do in this case, if something needs to be done.
