Your veins keep blood circulating throughout your body. Normally, blood flow to your limbs is controlled by one-way valves that help propel your blood back to your heart. Sometimes these valves stop functioning, allowing blood to pool in the legs, which can progress to a condition called chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). If not treated, CVI often causes lymphedema, which leads to swelling and skin changes.
