Any one else having leg problems.

Hiya I have had always had a problem with cold hands and feet . Just over a year ago I stopped been able to stand still on the spot at all as after just a couple of minutes my feet turn purple and I get pain in my lower leg it's not temperature related as when I flex the muscles in my calves I can get the colour back but my legs remain stiff after an attack. I saw a vascular surgeon but he wasn't interested to even have a look as the nurse said I had a pulse laid down and no varicose veins . I just wondered if anyone had the same problem as we can't get any answers and making life very difficult . Thanks

I get very purple feet, but just put it down to severe raynauds. I do have some varicose veins though, and apparently they're not always visible and I've had a horrible time with thrombophlebitis which no one seems very interested in!!
