    2 weeks ago I hurt my ankle, there was bruising and swelling, but the x-rays showed no fracture. The pain and bruising is minimal at this point, but the past couple days I've been having what I can only assume are circulation problems. After showering the other night I realized my toes were blue. I immediately elevated the foot and attmpted to curl my toes, which resulted in a spasm of the toes and a pain through my foot and ankle (and now my ankle is very tender to the touch) Every shower since has resulted in blue toes. Tonight I noticed that my foot and ankle felt like ice, even though the rest of my leg and other foot were normal temp. I feel like the ankle is healing but my circulation is getting worse. Is this something that will go away or should I make an appointment with my dr?

    Generally, things like this do go away; but I do suggest you get to a physical therapist and get some rehab for the ankle; this should also help the circulation issues, as it is possible that the "swelling" is somehow impairing the circulation.
