Hi,
There are many causes of leg pain, If it is due to varicose veins then it should have improved.
Neurological pain is the commonest cause of leg pain in general. I would like to assess this by getting an MRI of L-S Spine and Blood levels of Vitamin B12.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
