Dear friend,
welcome to HCM.
are the veins tortuous and protruding?
are there any discolorations around the ankle / foot?
is the calf tender and swollen/ tight?
it could be varicose veins / venous insufficiency and related pain.
pl. post a photo if possible.then we can tell you fast. else pl. see ur physician
if vaicosities are present , the crepe bandage and leg elevation would help.
hope to get feedback from you.
good luck
