How Can Varicose Veins In The Lower Left Leg Be Treated?
Hi, I have varicose veins in my lower left leg. I wear ankle socks and there is swelling just above the sock line after I ve worn the socks for some time. My right leg has no such swelling. My lower left leg is slightly wider than my right one and my varicose veins sometimes itch. I am wondering if I should be concerned about this swelling. Thanks for any help you can give.
