Will Saphenous Vein Removal Cause Life Long Pain In Leg?
I had my saphenous vein in my left leg from the knew below removed for bypass surgery. It has been 11 years since my surgery, I am not 47 and am having pain in the lower part of that removal when I jog, run, etc. Is this going to be a permanent problem now>

Ordinarily removal of great saphenous vein should. not cause any problem later in the life.Intially, there may be some oedema due to rupture of drainage veins but ultimately it subsides.
