Hi everyone!
For a whole week I have been on crutches. On the inside of my left knee I have a very bobbly and unsightly varicose vein. It's the only one I have but it keeps getting knocked. It was knocked 8 days ago and the bruising and pain was astonishing. It happened on the saturday and by sunday night I couldn't cope with the pain anymore and so went to A&E. The doc was surprised to see that a good percentage of my leg was black and I literally couldn't walk. Anyway I was given a thorough examination and was sent home with some blood thinning cream, painkillers and crutches.
The bruising has well gone down now and I can walk properly again. The vein is obviously still there, just waiting to be knocked again. I was just wondering if anyone has any personal experiences, or knows anyone who has had personal experiences with varicose vein and weather anyone has had a procedure to have them removed? This is the 4th time that the vein has come up like this through being knocked and it worries me as I do karate.
Would they do a procedure just for one vein? Any info greatly appreciated.
