Gsv reflux below knee > 500ms. mild swelling posteriorly. lots of pain in lower leg, especially posterior-left side. mri is normal. strip the vein?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See vein specialist.: While you do have reflux, .5 seconds is minimal. The longer the reflux the greater the venous insufficiency. Having reflux does not mean that it is the cause of your symptoms. See a vein specialist for a venous evaluation to see if your symptoms are due to your veins.
