What Causes Constant Sharp Pain In Knee That Radiates To Thigh And Foot?
Hi, I have been recently refered to a vascular surgeon for a varicose vein. The primary doctor didn t run any type of test on my leg where the vein is at. That leg is swelled and i have constant sharp (needle like poking,) pain in my in my knee. I get pains shooting up into my thigh and down into my foot. I don t see the vascular surgeon until March 15th. What do you suggest I do until then? Is this something I need to go to ER for now?

I think you should meet a ortho specialist as he will assess ur spine, knee and muscles. he may even recommend for a MRI or a x-ray and later a Doppler for veins. all this will help you to come closer to a issue actually u r facing. and prevention is always better than cure. I feel you should meet a specialist and get the body thoroughly assessed.
