Red Knots On Leg Appeared After Tendon Surgery, Pain
I have several small knots above my right ankle on my leg, with light and dark redness, with some pain. Noticed around 6 months after I had arch tendon surgery. Ortho doctor doesn t know what they are,- did MRI , showed nothing major. Went to primary doctor did ultra-sound for clots, nothing. No one seems to know, but they definitely were not there before surgery.

varicose veins of the legs may be the cause for your sufferings.
varicose veins occurs when vein not working properly. veins have one-way valves that prevents the blood from flowing backwards. when these valves fail, blood begins to collect in the vein rather than continuing towards heart.
ultrasound for the legs confirm the diagnosis.
wishing you good health
