The veins in my affected foot are always plumped up full and I too get pink/red foot ankle after walking. I have wondered how the apparent increased blood in that foot increases the pain too. Hmm it must be related since we have the same experience.

It's so weird on the normal foot the veins are never full and plump. I've thought about this a lot because it is so noticable. I haven't figured out which comes first, the increased blood or the pain. My veins in that foot are almost always full, except when I first get up in the morning.
