He said he's concerned maybe I have blocked arteries and the blood supply is getting cut off. My feet turn really purple and red, the other day at the doc 2 of my toes were really dark, he said it looks like a circulation thing. And yes, they swell too and get really shiny.
Its like pins and needles burning, kind of like frost bite and yes my feet change colors. They get purple and then dark red, sometimes my toes are almost black. I saw a vascular surgeon last week and they are doing a arteriogram on Friday to see if I have blockages that are cutting the blood supply off.
