What Causes Swelling And Coldness In Ankle After A Fall?
About 15 years ago I had surgery to tighten some ligaments in my ankle resulting from multiple sprains. I rolled my ankle 5 days ago. The top of my foot is still a bit swollen, foot feels cold but not to the touch, and surgery scar is now pinkish. What could be going on?
