Severe Pain And Numbness In Leg With Large Purple Bruise, Feeling Of Vein Rupture Above Knee, Pain In Foot And Ankle. Guide

I'm guessing this was a varicose vein that ruptured on my right inner leg a little above my knee. It was a very large purple bruise, with a patch of red. Then within that week on the same leg, I recieved a very sharp pain in my right foot and ankle, kind of like a charlie horse almost but a lot more painful. On my right ankle a vein has darkened and is painful. Since this happen I'm having a lot of leg pain, discomfort, numbness especially where the first vein ruptured, and my knee has been hurting as well. I have been to a varicose vein specialist, or Surgeon, Whatever he was called, and all he said is that my right leg he could do the surgery on, but it could just make it worse. So guess what, did not let him do anything. I have been dealing with bad leg pain for several years. What should I do? My age is 32, 5ft and 105 lbs. Constantly on my feet.
