Many people suffer for years with damaged veins, when the answer to their problem is as simple as a consultation with a vein care specialist. That consultation, along with a few tests could yield valuable information about your painful condition, and how to resolve it. Often a patient waits, thinking the pain or the symptoms will abate, but they do not. You should consider a consult with a vein care specialist when:
- You have increased swelling in your leg(s);
- The skin on your leg and/or ankle has become dark or thickened;
- One of your veins has become red, painful and warm to the touch;
- You have developed a sore or rash near your ankle;
- Your leg veins have become more pronounced; and,
- Your leg symptoms have begun to interfere with your daily activities,
