Itching & Swelling legs/feet

[stephL]

Interesting to find that both itching and edema in the legs/feet can be related to poor circulation. This is really causing me some distress and my primary care doc said it's "nothing".    The numbness in my feet has been slowly worsening over the past few years, but I have no idea if numbness is related. Has anyone been diagnosed with Venous insufficiency and could you share what treatments were prescribed for you?
