Thighs Are Getting Larger And Varicose Veins In Leg Are Causing A Lot Of Pain.
Hi Dr. Samuel, My name is Connie. I am 51 years old and I am now post menopausal. My weight has really went up. The main problem I m having is my thighs are getting larger and larger, and I m having trouble walking. I ve been in lots of pain. I have also been breaking out with vericous veins really bad in my legs also. I know this is a lot, I ve just been in a lot of pain. Thank You, Connie
Your problem may be caused by veins insufficiency in both legs only. However heart problem or kidney problem can also cause such symptoms. Varicose veins which give pain, can indicate veins thrombosis. This can lead to deep veins thrombosis which is life threatening condition. I suggest you to do not wait any longer with your symptoms. Please consult your doctor first. Dopplers veins ultrasound needs to be done. Kidneys and heart function needs to be verified.
Hope this will help. Regards.
