hello,
i can understand your concern.
could you elaborate the type of deformity present
do you develop swelling over the ankle or shin???
i would advise arterial and venous doppler of the lower limbs initially to find a possible cause.
this would help us in finding any decreased arterial supply to the legs or any venous insufficiency. the cause of which can also be known because of this.
further investigations and management would depend on the doppler findings.
do revert back to us with the reports.
feel free to ask further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM
