Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Left Leg

I have severe pain in my left leg like it is full of lactic acid and at the point of cramping. I had Knee surgery several years ago and the doctor took the meniscus out due to a bucket handle tear. There is weird brusing on the anterior side of my ankle and the vericos veins in my foot are more pronounced.

Hello dear user of HCM!
Welcome and thank you for sharing your concerns with us!

I'm sorry for the situation you are going though.
Since you have bruising and varicose veins in your leg, severe pain, and a history of surgery before, I think you should go to your healthcare center and talk first with a angiologist or vascular specialist.

Your symptoms may be due to a complication of your varicose veins, and a Doppler ultrasound is needed to rule out any vein thrombosis. The earlier you go the better results you will get. After this examination if everything is good, then a neurologist or orthopedist may help you in further consultations.


I hope you will be fine soon.
I wish you a good health!
DR ERIOL.
