Hello,
Generally, big blue vessels are varicose veins. Sometimes they ache locally. Often there is poor circulation and swelling in the limb out from where the varicose veins are.
Allergy to one thing does not apply to unrelated things. Statins might all be related to each other but they would not be related to for example chicken. Other drugs for circulation or pain are likewise not statins. Lifestyle and really low fat, low sugar diets lower cholesterol, but the lifestyle actually has a better track record than the drugs for lowering health problems.
Pain below the leg if there is swelling in the leg would imply circulation. This is mostly due to small clots and small problems BUT could be from LARGE clots which are a large problem and if the LARGE clot breaks loose and goes to the lung it can kill you. A reason to have it examined.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
