Hi I have a various vain in my left leg had it for a few years I have been to the doctors they said it s ok. But now I have terrible pain in my leg and the bottom from my knee down has swollen up,and the vain at the bottom has gone rock hard, if I raise my leg the tightness goes but when I put I back down the pain is worse. My ankle has swollen up as well .
Hello, Possible causes like peripheral occlusive vascular diseases or varicose vein must be ruled out. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. An arterial and venous Doppler is required to make a diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain
