I have had neuropathy for about two years and recently My foot doctor sent me to a vein specialists for discoloration around the ankle area of both my legs...
The vein doctor told me I have vein issues in my lower legs and it might also be the cause of my neuropathy as well...
Per my insurance I have to wait six weeks and then I can start having treatments which will be minor surgery to shut down any veins that are not working properly (leaking)...
Time will tell if this surgery will help my neuropathy...

Hi - I’m just curious, does your neuropathy only affect your legs? I’m asking because I have veins you describe in one of my ankle areas (but neuropathy in all 4 extremities)

Welcome @jlh1960, I have discoloration in both of my legs around the shins mostly. My primary care doc told me it was edema and later I was diagnosed with lymphedema and have to wear compression socks which help the swelling but don't do much to help with the neuropathy. I can remember my father having surgery for varicose veins which were quite painful and it helped him so hopefully it will help your neuropathy symptoms.
Can you let us know how the surgery goes?
