What is the cause of the swollen and painful sensation of blood vessels on the soles and tops of the feet?

Patient's question:

I am a male, 47 years old.
Around March or April 2004, I suddenly experienced a severe, sharp pain on the back of my left foot. At the time, I quickly rubbed it vigorously, and the situation improved somewhat. However, since it was sudden and occurred infrequently, I didn’t pay much attention to it. But starting in September of this year, the frequency of this condition has been increasing, and it has been happening almost every day lately, often occurring in the middle of the night.
Could this be an early symptom of some disease? What should I pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, first of all, the blood vessels themselves do not cause pain. The cause of your pain is currently unclear and requires further examination. It is recommended that you go to the neurology department of a hospital for examination to identify the cause before treatment.
