i sprained my ankle about 5 days ago. i went to emergency the day i did it as i couldn t put any weight on it. after an xray determined i had no fractures, I ve been on crutches for a few days slowly putting more weight through my foot, doing exercises and wearing the compression bandage that were given to me. before i sprained it, my extremities had been cold after extreme weight loss, but now the foot in question is very cold and has minimal swelling. any ideas? should i go to my gp to have it looked at again?
Dear patient., What keeps our body and extremities warm is the blood flow inside the vessels which is partly controlled by nerves. By that logic it seems you could have 1 of 2 conditions1) Vascular damage
