Is this an EDS thing
Sorry for the kinda bad/gross foot pic haha. When I stand in one place for a little bit, especially barefoot, I start to get this dark red/purplish color in my lower legs and feet, usually with some weird white spots. It vaguely hurts and sometimes I start getting pins and needles feeling too. It goes away once I sit down or walk around for a bit, but will come back easier after it happens the first time in a day. Is this blood pooling? I have been told by (a kinda bad) PT and an (even worse) cardiologist that this is not considered blood pooling but due to my other experiences with these people I’m not so sure. I do know that hydrating extra or wear compression socks/garments does not seem to make any difference though. Is this an EDS thing?(I am diagnosed with hEDS) any advice or input or anything is very welcome, I am 19 and navigating everything on my own and am a bit lost.
