At 25 unlikely: Pulse is 'faint ' most likely reason is due to edema caused by injury . Speak to your doctor , 25 is not the age for PVD if suspects your doctor will do the vascular studies.

I injured my ankle and months later I noticed my foot was discoloured, like darker than my other foot. Then severe inflammation started from my foot and ended half way up my calf. I went and got an ABI done, was told I have mild PVD . I also have hemi cp
