What Causes Painful Visible Vein On Leg?
Hi, I ve had pain in a vein in my leg, I think it s the femoral vein for about one week. Now I have the sensation of a rubber band from just below my knee. The area below my knee and all the way to my foot feels either hot, cold, or wet. Sometimes I am unable to discern between them. No recent injury to leg or back.
