For A Couple Months I Have Had Tightness And Pain
For a couple months I have had tightness and pain behind my left knee, calf area...almost the same pain after a night cramp in the calf...also I have lost about 15 lbs and know see several lumps in my left upper thigh...reminds me of my moms varicose but not the color as much...just lumps. How can I heal this? I wear compression socks but nothing on my thigh to help.

Hi. The first thing is to ascertain the cause of these multiple lumps starting from the knee-back area. These can be varicose veins. Do the lumps become smaller or abolished after you lie down and / or raise the legs? Are they painful ? I would advice you to go for a ultrasonography with color doppler mode to come to a diagnosis. to decide further treatment.
