Your description sounds nearly exactly to my wife's: foot pain elevated at the end of the day, worse after a day of exercise, etc. She also has been wondering is if it is linked to swelling in the knee, much like you mention.I will encourage her to continue her flexion exercises -- she does similar ones that you describe. Thanks for your information --- I think your condition is just like my wife's.
The ABI was just scheduled by my primary and was done by an ultrasound tech. Took very little time to do. Just put blood pressure like cuffs on ankles and arms all at the same time. Then did ankles and top of thighs. I did have the EMG testing done, but he did not finish the testing because with one part of it he pressed behind my knee and the incision from my artery surgery started bleeding in one spot so he didn't finish the test. I am taking Plavix from my popliteal artery surgery and I do bleed and bruise easily. Just an FYI, my primary did tell me the EMG test is uncomfortable and can be painful.
My foot as well is better some days and worse if I am on my feet a lot. I have no swelling in the morning, but by evenings my calf and ankle is a little swollen. I am taking Gabapentin for the nerve pain which does help but does not totally get rid of the pain, but makes it tolerable.
