is it painful to have your spider veins removed?

Question

I have a hard painful lump on my spider veins and hot to the touch why is this?

Answer 1

Spider veins: Not painful. See a vascular or a plastic surgeon.

Answer 2

Mildly: The best choice in the legs is sclerotherapy which uses a needle and injections. The medication burns some when injected but goes away quickly.

Answer 3

A little: Sclerotherapy isn't totally painless. Neither is laser. You are getting stuck with needles (even if they are very small ones) or zapped. You will likely have some temporary itching/stinging that lasts a few minutes. You will also likely have some mild bruising and tenderness for a couple of days too. Most of the time, discomfort is relieved with tylenol (acetaminophen) or nsaids. Stronger meds are rarely needed.

Answer 4

If one: Skips using Hypertonic Saline and instead using ethoxysclerol or Asclera in the us there should be no pain besides the small needle prick. If however the person is very sensitive even to the small needle, one should use the best local skin anesthesia offered by Lidoderm patches 5%. To be applied 2 hours before the injections esession while the patient is still at home.

Answer 5

Possibly: They are of two types. The leiomyoma occurs in the skin or gut but the common form is the uterine fibroid. Rhabdomyomas are rare tumors of muscles, they occur in childhood and often become malignant assuming this is a uterine fibroid, if it were in the proper anatomic location it could cause vascular compromise, nerve compression, pelvic cramping or even a referred pain pattern.

Answer 6

MANY: There are many things that may cause neck & lower back pain. The 2 most common is sprain/strains, and arthritis. Others are disc herniations, infections, tumors, fractures, and congenital deformities. If you are experiencing pain and it does not respond to heat, rest, and stretching exercises, i would suggest that you see your pcp for an evaluation.

Answer 7

Many possible causes: It's been suggested that the 'most common causes' may be 'sprain/strain and arthritis.Possibly, true-don't have the stats-but i find the most common easily reversible causes r dysfunctions of thoracic & cervical spine & ribs.A good history followed by proper exam & possible testing, including a good osteopathic hands-on exam could lead, in many cases, to quick resolution of pain, right in office.

Answer 8

Many things: In this short space i can't even begin to list all the possible causes. See your pcp if this is a chronic problem.

Answer 9

Pain: Not sure if u had head trauma before, headaches or what medications you take. Best to consult a neurologist for workup.

Answer 10

May be normal but: You need to get checked by your doctor. There are lots of possible causes for galactorrhea (leaving milky fluid) and most are easy to deal with. Bottom line - go get a checkup! good luck.

Answer 11

Maybe...: We suggest rest, ice, elevation, compression and NSAID of choice. You don't necessarily have to stop, but you may need to back off some. If it worsens, you may have to stop and get it checked out.

Answer 12

Not neccesarily: If the pain is sharp or persistant, than i would stop and seek medical relief when you have the time. If the pain is mild, check your shoes as they may be worn out, or purchase a stabilizing brace to help as you run.

Answer 13

No: Change shoes if it persists see a podiatrist.

Answer 14

Never continue: Running when you have pain you can cause damage. Try to assess what is causing the pain. Is it your sneaker? If you can't figure it out or the pain persists see a podiatrist or orthopedic foot ankle specialist.
