Had arthroscopic ankle surgery a month ago. this foot is darker than other one. swollen too. normal? causes? post thrombotic syn? will it get lighter?

Possibly: It sounds like venous compression, which may be due to scar tissue around the veins to the foot. Compression is a good start, and you may benefit from anticoagulation and physical therapy. Talk to your operating surgeon about therapy.
