I broke my foot the other night and both my mum and I have just noticed that the tip of the foot (toes and upper foot) are a bit purple in colour. Also a bit cold and tingly. My mum says it is just bruising but I am worried it's more serious. I had the cast examined this morning, and it was all good (as a check up, not by choice) but I am worried that something might have happened tonight? I was ambulanced to hospital on the 30th when I initialy hurt my foot and don't fancy that again but I am worried?

I can wiggle my toes OK and if I pinch them they go pink fairly quick (within 5 seconds or so) But I'm so worried.

It might be because you're not moving them due to your foot being broken, a bit of poor circulation maybe???
