Brief Answer:
A correct diagnosis is necessary first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
First, is necessary to get a correct diagnosis of the condition, before evaluation of the treatment ways.
Most likely there is a vascular condition of the affected foot, such deep veins thrombosis, peripheral arteries disease, that is causing those symptoms.
It is necessary to get evaluated with Doppler ultrasound and by blood tests (sedimentation rate, complete blood count etc.) in order to achieve a correct diagnosis.
Discuss with your primary care Doctor about these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Greetings.
