Varicose Veins, Lumps In Legs For Years. Veins Very Sore, Sharp Pains In Leg. Serious Problem?
hello, I am a 54 year old woman and have had varicose veins and lumps in my legs for some years. Over the past few months one of my veins has become sore,really hurting if I kneel down as though my skin is going to rip. Also, I am getting sharp pains in both my legs at various points, it feels worse when I am laying down. Do I have a serious problem ?

Hi
Varicose veins developes in prolonged standing people.
They may lead to Ulcer in the lower led,bleeding,skin discolouration etc.
So,it is better if you undergo surgery.
You should consult a Vascular surgeon and get an Colour doppler of both the limbs.
Now days,laser treatment is also done.
So,Follow your doctor's advice and get them treated.
Wish you good health
