Default Varicose veins

Im at the 1yr mark with RSD, Ive seen it progress from my right heel to the the oposite heel and progress up both legs , but it more prominate on the original leg, it has gone into both hips and the small of my back. Recently [about a month ago] Ive noticed smal varicose veins in both my feet abd the sides of the ankles,more so on the outside of the ankles, Now ive noticed that the right leg[original leg]the outer shine and outer calf is really bad,,they are not big veins but a large patch of smaller ones,some patches are are in a 4-6 inch diameter,,but ,they are also all over the lower legs spaced out too,,,Im not over weight [6ft 190lb], and im staying as active as possible,,,in my mind its has to be the rsd,,ive not ever had anyveins in my legs until rsd,,I do know and am aware that RSD does affect not only the submotors[sweating ] but vasamotors as well[circulation,,] I know some people have alot of swelling in their limbs,,i have some mild swelling on the r-ankle , but the variccose veins are getting worse[spreading] I keep a low salt diet, stay moving,exercise,and try not to stand long ....any help and stories would be very appreciated,,,,,,and I do use compressing socks too..Thank you ,,, bobber
