A picture of my Klippel foot taken this morning. If you look closely, you can see the vein that extends from the bottom of my last toe all the way down the rest of my foot. Here is the rather weird thing about this vein: during the day, I function just fine with it. At night, however, when the foot is mainly stagnant, it hurts such a great amount! It makes no sense to me as I would have presumed it to be opposite. But when I do wake up in the middle of the evening, this vein is sometimes so bothersome that it prevents me from falling back asleep. It may look small, but the pain that radiates from it is anything but.
