Suggest Treatment For Varicose Veins

Hi - I have varicose veins that protrude on my leg, this morning a Great Dane knocked my left leg just on the lower leg and impacted hard. It s now very swollen and extremely sore with little red veins all around it. Just wondering if it be best to see a doctor? Thank you.

Yes consult a doctor as early as possible.

Permanent remedy is surgical removal of that protruding vein.

Till then supportive care is -
1. Don't stand much
2. Make a habit of sleeping with the feet raised (give a support of 2-3 pillow below your feet).
3. Just walk around a while after sitting/standing, as it will make calf muscles work and blood from varicose vein will pump up.
