What Treatment Is Suggested For Pain In Left Femoral Vein ?
I had a cardiac ablation procedure on Dec.2,2013. I still have severe pain in the left femoral vein when I walk or sit. I have been taking 81 mg. of Aspirin daily to prevent a clot, and walk, and move around. What could this continued pain be an indicator of ?

Dear sir
First it needs proper investigation, venous and arterial doppler examination should be done to rule out deep vein thrombosis.
Secondly it there is any associated abnormality, long term anticoagulation is needed with the help of warfarin and nicumaloune.
Always pain in the veins is associated with thrombosis in the perforators.
So needs through examination and treatment.
Thanks
