Hello,
It is important performing a Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels in order to examine your blood vessels and exclude possible deep vein thrombosis or varicose veins, which can lead to this clinical situation.
Further tests may be needed:
- A hip X ray study
- D dimmer plasma levels
- An angio CT scan of the iliac and femoral veins.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
