I have that as well. I'm ending my 3rd week of treatment and I think my ankles are looking a little better. My second blood test shows a slight decrease in the count measuring that. I don't think my legs and ankles were quite as bad as you describe yours to be, but I have noticed a little something. Also, I read that bags under the eyes are a sign of kidney disease and I'm anxiously waiting for those to disappear. Oh yes, and I'm on Viekira Pak and Riba as well.

Hi, I think this is what is going on. For the past 5 years my feet and ankles have looked terrible. Black and blue blood vessals and some numbness. Maybe even jaundice. Varicose viens run in my family and just let it go. Thanks to this site I have read of other complications with having Hep C. Well, I am not trying to be the Vikera-pack poster child here but......4 weeks in on treatment and this week-end wife-ee and I got out the shorts. She noticed that my feet looked alot better. She is right. The skin looks very normal again. Has anyone noticed any improvement in there feet and ankles while on treatment?  I am amazed again.
