Suggest Treatment For Venous Insufficiency In Both Legs

Hello, I was recently diagnosed with venous insufficiency in both legs. But I have had another issue the same time I have the heaviness in my legs, cramps in my legs, itching, etc. I also have a lot of pelvic pain. Cramps in my lower abdomen and in my lower back. They accompany my leg pain problems. What could this be? I have noticed all of these symptoms since November 15 (the onset of pain). I had an endometrial ablation 2 years ago. Since the beginning of December I have had an exam and both a pelvic and abdominal ultrasound to figure out the stomach pain. They all came back normal. I now have an appointment with an OBGYN soon to see if they can find something out. Do you have any suggestions?

Hello

Leg pain can be due muscle cramp.

Take plenty of water, fluid intake will dilute toxins.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
Yes you can do exercises like swimming, riding stationary bicycle, but do not overexert yourself.
Take potassium rich diet.
Hot and cold fomentation to leg.

You need to continue you medication for couple of month to see effects.
Add tab methylcobal 1500 once day.

Another possibility of venous insufficiency [varicose vein].

Dilated vein need investigation like venous Doppler and valve study.

Many of my patients find relief with laser treatment for varicose vein.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time you can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
