A member asked:
Why does my lower leg get so red to purple when sitting in car and standing? i fractured my distal fibula; 2 breaks about 12 weeks ago?

The description implies a worrisome decrease in blood flow/circulation in the site. I would see your doctor as soon as it can be arranged. If not available go to urgent care or an emergency room.
