Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

As per your symptoms there is venous insufficiency [varicose vein].

Dilated vein need investigation like venous Doppler and valve study.

Many of my patients find relief with laser treatment for varicose vein.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time you can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Vitamin E supplement with carnitine has good results.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
