Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM virtual clinic.
I studied your query in full details updated from you.I understood your health concerns.
Based on your query data, In my opinion ,Dear You seem to suffer from
Varicosity of the Short Saphenous Vein with multiple bumpy swellings on shin/ankle on one leg.
Burning pain sensation is due to sural neuropathy due to pressure from engorged Varicose Lumps and stretch of the surrounding soft tissue.
Multiple injuries could only expedite the basic defect of Varicose Veins in your case,but should not be directly correlated to cause the burning swellings on shin and near ankles.
So your suspicion is wrong and could be confirmed by second opinion to evaluate your case clinically.Color doppler study would confirm this.For this treatment Gp and Surgeon and Vascular Surgeon team would be needed to treat your case.
Hope this reply would help you to evaluate your case and treat it with your doctors in time to come.
Hope this would resolve your query and worry and Anxiety accompanied with it.
Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME.I would love to help you out.
Awaiting for any further query.
Wish you fast recovery from this intriguing health problem.
Have a Good Day.
