Orthopedist Questions Hospitalist

Feet go purple with white blotches?

Hi, I injured my feet walking and shaking during whole body intermittent tremors for 9 days. After 4 months I still have bruises. My doctor said it was fine because my blood tests were ok but she didn’t see the color or the structure. I think it could be a structural problem that sometimes affects the circulation- do you think it could be the case from the pictures? What do you suggest I do next because I’m unsure and nobody seems to be trying to help.

Complaint duration: 4 months
Medications: Co-dydramol when needed
Conditions: Unexplained range of symptoms

Something quite serious is going on as you are so young.
I would seek a hospital podiatrist.
Looks like a case of spastic Raynaud’s phenomenon. Talk to a rheumatologist and vascular surgeon.
I am a hip and knee specialist. I would suggest seeing a vascular specialist and also a foot specialist.
This may be signs of CRPS ( chronic regional pain syndrome) or a circulation disorder known as acrocyanosis or a Raynaud’s phenomenon.
See a podiatrist to get help with diagnosing and treating this problem.
Looks like you may have Raynauds…. Get checked for an autoimmune disease.
You should consult with your cardiologist.
I believe this may be related to some circulation issues. Vasculitis or a Raynaud's type phenomena. Not really an orthopedic issue but should be evaluated.
I recommend you to see a local vascular doctor or podiatrist that can perform a in office circulation test call and ABI/PVR, that is the first step in assessing the overall health of your leg arteries.
I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment options
It looks like a circulatory problem. Go to a cardiologist and ask for arterial studies on your legs. It could also be a vasospastic problem like Raynaud’s phenomenon-there is not a treatment for raynauds
I would recommend getting evaluated for raynauds disease.
If it doesn’t go away in 2 months consider having your doctor order a blood vessel test.
