Why Is My Leg Feeling Tight And Uncomfortable?
Last night a vein popped in the back of my knee. I put ice on it which reduced the sweliing but it s still there, gone hard and is very tender. My leg feels tight and uncomfortable. Should i see my doctor? I was squatting on my haunches when it happened. Lauren, aged 50
