Experiencing Pain And Swelling On A Varicose Vein On The Calf. Suggest Treatment .
I got hit in the calf with a baseball right on a varicose vein. It is swelling up there and about 3 inches up from there in the vein. Where the ball hit is not where most of the swelling is happening. Do I have anything to be concerned about? It hurts a little but looks bad.

this happens due to thickening of vein ,suggestion to you avoid long standing, always raise leg while sleeping, may apply thrombophob ointment over swelling area.it take more time to disappear,but do not worry ,swelling will be lee if you follow above treatment.
