Feeling Of Bruising And Tightness In Calf With Pulling Inside, Easing Up After Walking. Have Varicose Veins. Any Connections?
I have got an aching feeling in my calf it feels tight and when i rub it it feels bruised inside.When i get up in the morning it feels stiff and a pulling feeling inside its really hard to describe it only lasts for a few minutes after i have walked around it eases up.I do have varicose veins had them since i was 18 so i dont know whether that has any thing to do with it i am not in real pain but would like to see if you could shine a little light on what it might be.

Hi, it appears that you have deep vein thrombosis, in the first stage. The varicose veins may be the predisposing factor. You may need to have color dopplar for confirmation.
So i advise you to consult a vascular surgeon or general surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
