Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Redness In The Lower Legs
Seems like CVI with Lymphedema.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for your question.
Firstly Chronic Venous Insufficiency or CVI as we call it does not completely degree with GSV ablation as CVI happens due to Deep Venous valve reflux. Therefore the CVI is still there though must have improved after GSV ablation.
Thereafter the injury you sustained would have further damaged the Lymph drainage of the limb leading to Lymphedema. The problems you face now are a conjoint issue of CVI and Lymphedema.
I suggest you start Lymohapress therapy, Tab Daflon 500mg twice a day, wear Compression stockings class II till thigh at all times and sleep with your legs raised above your heart level. Leg end of the bed needs to be raised. These measures will help you control the swelling and redness. If there is associated pain then you should consult a Surgeon or a Vascular Surgeon.
Take care and do let me know if there are any queries on this issue.
Hope for a fast recovery.
