Hi,
A broken vein (varicose veins) leads to poor lower limb circulation that will affect your bones, muscles and each and every aspect of the limb as per your history. I would suggest you to get treated immediately to prevent further complications. Amputation is only in very severe condition that have developed big ulcers that won't heal over time.
Treatment generally includes self help like elevating legs above heart level, ankle toe movements thought the day compression stockings laser treatment foam sclerotherapy. Again I would like to say nothing to worry about as of now but you need to take treatment to prevent further complications.
Hope you find this helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Jenis Bhalavat
