i broke my ankle in august last year, and had to have an operation to have a plate and 7 screws to hold my bone in place.

i had physio for 4 months and everything was fine.

my ankle is still weak, but for the past few months i've been gettin a numb uncomfortable feeling all under the foot of the ankle i broke whenever i walk or excercise for more than 10-20 minutes sometimes i find it turns a purple colour also.

does anyone have any advice or any knowlegde about what it could be?

Answer 1

Yes I agree with Medana, any numbness especially in the feet needs checking out.  Please go and see your GP who should refer you back to the hospital if necessary.  Take care.  

Answer 2

Personally, I think you need to see your GP and obtain a referral back to the hospital as the symptoms you describe definitely need checking and investigating.

Answer 3

check your blood sugar, just in case.
