A member asked:
Does or can the greater saphenous vein reflux below the knee cause tightness in the soleus muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Veins and soleus: This would not be a classic symptom, however anything that causes swelling, pain and heaviness could alter gait and cause tightness. But you may want to look for other reasons
