Have Venous Insufficiency,varicose Veins, Lump On Knee. Hurts When Standing,pain In Hips, Butt. Help?
I have venous insuffiency and vericose veins. I also have a bad back, upper and lower. Yesterday I noticed a lump on back of knee where there is vericose veins. It is hard when leg is straight and soft when leg is bent. It does not hurt to touch, but hurts when standing. But I also noticed that I have pain in both legs, hips and butt. The day before noticing the bump I did alot of bending and moving. Could you tell me what the lump is from?
