See your doc!: If your foot feels like it is cold and you have a calf that hurts you want to definitely have it checked out. I would definitely see your doc or if you are having any shortness of breath, chest pain, calf swelling, you need to go to the er to get it checked out but i would call the physician on call if the office is closed and tell them. Your foot shouldn't be cold, and you shouldn't have numbnes.

Ice cube foot: Any of the things you are describing should be evaluated by your surgeon sooner rather than later. Especially since your calf also hurts. Call right away and head for an er if your surgeon should be unavailable. Good luck.
