Question Higher risk for DVT?

Hi,

My friend has RSD in her foot and half way up to her knee. She also has reynold's and always had poor circulation to her extremities. The concern's we have right now is how Vein-ey the affected foot is compared to the other. Should we be worried about this or is this normal? Due to RSD is there a higher chance of getting Deep Vein Thrombosis? Should we be worried and ask for a couple of scans to check for clots?

Also on a separate note: If she decides to get a nerve block, can that possibly end up making the RSD worse and progressing it further?

Appreciate all and any advice.

Thank You.
