Littlewonder, dear, I don't want to ask what kind of a crackpot your doc is but......wtf. A venous insufficiency was what in the long run cost me my leg. Of course there was other damage done to my leg but it is the act of blood 'pooling' in your foot that puts not only your leg but your very life in danger. Left untreated venous insufficiency can/does lead to blood clots, pain, cramps, and in extreme cases it can lead to the veins that carry your blood collapsing. Which may or may not be repairable. I would agree with Annie and suggest you tell your doctor that 'no' to just elevating your legs. I know dealing with doctors can be a pain but don't let them back you down on this one. You said you can barely walk now, surely you don't want it getting any worse.
