I do not think it is due to blockage of the arteries or veins, rather i believe it is due to infection. You have not mentioned if you are Diabetic as these type of foot infections is very common in them, If you have fever and foot is swollen then your foot specialist may asked you to get blood investigations and also recommend you to start antibiotics . If there is already abscess formation has taken place then he will have to take last option , and that is drainage of the pus.
