A member asked:
Why is my foot still red when i put it down 4 months after injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Still red: After a fracture or injury, the circulation to the foot or injured area can be compromised, usually with venous return. This can create color changes. It takes some time for this to resolve. Massage, contrast baths, physical therapy can accelerate the improvement in the color changes.
