Can a pedicure aggravate varicose veins on the ankle/foot? Increased tingling since I went. My legs look like I'm 70 (Photo)

Asked By:kmswalker in Shelby, NC

I have recently had ankle veins pop out and cause tingling on the top of my foot. I can literally feel the nerve tonight on top of my foot. Compression hose completely reduce the swelling, burning sensation where my foot flexes and the numbing sensation at night. When not wearing the hose; swelling-burning-numbing symptoms start immediately and worsen. I'm not diabetic and swelling goes down overnight. I'm worried about the fast progression. 3 pregnancies, 35, hereditary on both sides.
