Suggest Treatment For Swelling On The Legs
I m a 59 year old male who runs. Over the past several weeks the back of my leg (behind my knee) feels swollen and I m unable to fully bend my leg. There isn t much pain but my family has a history of aneurysms. How would I tell if this is a problem with my veins

Hello,
I believe it is a problem with your veins such varicose veins and you should consult a angiologyst. An ultrasound or Doppler should be done.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
