A member asked:

I had my kidner surgery done 2 weeks ago. my ankle bone is extremely sore and the top part of my foot is dark purple/black. should i be concerned?

Maybe: I assuming you had ankle surgery and now have pain and some skin changes. Altered blood can be blue/ black. But it is always a good idea to check with your surgeon. A call may be all you need to do. Seek their input.
