Raynaud's : It does not sound line raynaud's . If it is happening over an operated ankle check with your doctor for further evaluation.

Cold and hurt: If this happens after exposure to cold , then raynaud's is likely. If not then tests are indicated to explain this. Seek the assistance of your surgeon. He or she will be more than willing to help . Good luck !

Impingement?: Agree with dr. Inwood - other possibilities are impingement from scar tissue (or hardware) from the surgery, decreased blood flow and post-surgical arthritis. Definitely see your surgeon if you haven't - they would want to know you are having post-operative problems.
