toes turn purple when I try to walk, why?

Doc, I sprained and have a hairline fracture in my left ankle.
I’ve seen a doctor and a specialist.
On my last visit, the doctor said I could start walking on it.
I did slowly and that night my toes started turning purple again.
I called and the nurse told me to stay off of it for the weekend.
So I stayed off for almost a week and tried walking again, and same thing happened.
It turned purple again.
Is this normal?
It’s been almost 3 weeks.. ThanksDJ

    i broke my foot this past weekend and the same thing happens to me. its fine when I have it up, but as soon as I’m standing up to go into a different room my toes turn purple and it starts to tingle. its kinda freaking me out cuz I didn’t think it was too good.
