Hello and welcome to EmpowHer,
The discoloration of your toe is most likely due to poor circulation, which can also be causing the blood clots. When you elevate your leg it reduces blood flow to the foot, which should help reduce the clotting. However, this also reduces the supplying of oxygen to the toe causing it to turn blue.
