Hi,I have noticed on the back of my right thigh that my veins have become gathered and raised,also have freckle like brown spots all over my ankles and raising to my lower calf.are the two related in anyway?spots are on both ankles etc but veins are only on one leg.thanks in advance.
Hi, Thanks for providing the brief history of yours you mentioned the signs, I want to know if you had any particular injury or hurt yourself. Since you mentioned the signs behind the thigh up to the ankles, it may be some disruption in the venous return, for which I will advise you to get once checked by the vascular specialist, also you may need to undergo the Doppler scan which can reveal if any blood clots are there. Usually, for active people though there are clots there might be no signs of pain, swelling, heaviness etc. as the muscles are in constant state of action. So I will recommend getting that check once. Post that, you can visit a physical therapist who can teach you exercises to help improve your signs. As exercise can help to gain much more benefits. Surgery is of choice if there is massive obstruction or there is too much swelling with constant pain, but if no massive obstruction or swelling then the surgery is not of the choice. You may be advised to take some medicines and along with it the physical therapy which will reduce the signs. Feel free for more queriesRegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
