Vein Related Issue

These issues are usually caused by the valves inside the vessel no longer working properly.   Overtime time the vessels stretch out and start to cause symptoms like heaviness, tenderness, swelling, and nighttime lower leg issues.  To properly determine which vessels are causing these issues and the most appropriate treat the next step is to see a provider and can perform a venous reflux ultrasound study.   This noninvasive diagnostic study take about 45 minutes to an hour and shows the size and flow patterns through the veins in the legs.   It is a critical step in ensuring a treatment plan.

The physical changes that you are currently seeing over your legs indicates that your venous disease may be more significant and at higher risk of complications such as blood clot or skin break down than most patients.   You should see a provider that specializes in vein treatments as soon as possible.
