Hi. About 4-5 weeks ago, the tops of both feet & shins are swollen. The right shin, in the back, is extremely swollen to the point when pushed upon, it takes a short (most of the time) while for it to go back to normal. The last 4-5 nights I have extreme muscle cramping in the top part of my thigh, to the point of getting not much sleep. My husband lifts my legs for me to help alleviate some of the pain. I saw a doctor practioner, whom told me to see my foot doctor (already had an appt. made) about 4 days later. He referred me to a 'vein' doctor. He says the blood flowing downward is okay, but is having problems going back up...make any sense?
