I really Understand what is happening to me

Well it's late August and I have visited the new Doctor three times and he explained what the disease is doing to me It seems the tedons in my lower legs are hardening and because they are harden they are getting shorter also the vien in my legs are not working at 100 percent effiency some of the blood is settling in my legs instead of being pumped back up to the heart. The valves are not closing completely that allows blood to flow back through and settle in the bottom of my feet. This is why my legs feel like I'm wearing tight socks all the time and they feel heavy later in the day when the blood has had time to accumulate in my feet. I started taking vien support supplements I guess I'll see if they help.
