A member asked:
If you have blood pooling in legs which makes them turn red, do you think it would be the deep veins causing this issue, and if so, is it treatable by surgery? are valves in legs repairable also? many thanks?

The symptoms as stated above suggests one might have problem with the Circulatory System in the lower extremities. Besides a good evaluation by the PCP, a Vascular Consult might also have to be seen and more specific questions can then be answered. There are good solutions for most of the potential problems that might be detected.
