Suggest Treatment For Varicose Veins In An Elderly Person

My wife is 75 and is having a problem with aching legs after walking a short distance. She had both hips replaced 7 yrs ago , but now her right leg looks like varicose veins are forming. Should we go back to the doctor who performed her hip replacement or another physician?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the pain symptoms then it needs to be managed accordingly instead of thinking for hip replacement looking to age it may not be qualified for this operation, it is better to have second opinion and even third opinion too, till then pain can be managed with Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day hope this information helps.
