Ok. To start I had surgery last Friday to remove a tumor from the back of my leg/knee. I am on bed rest and in a knee immoboilizer for 3 weeks.
Today:
I had been laying down for about 2 hrs straight. My leg was elevated. I got up to walk around and my foot turned purple/red. Very different than my other foot. As soon as I elevated it again it turned back to the normal skin color.
Do I need to consider a blood clot?

It could be the blood pooling back down into your feet again after being elevated. Normally a sign of a blood clot is if it has a continually tingly feeling that is more than just if your foot is asleep. Ask your doctor what they think of the color of your foot.

By all means. That's not a good thing. Check with your doc - he/she can diagnose. Don't screw around - do it now. Meantime, keep your leg elevated.

Keep your head elevated and your feet.

its just not used to being on the ground walking around. your babying it. so in that case its used to being up. you need to let it down slowly and start trying to get up
GOOD LUCK

You should most likely consult your surgeon
