A member asked:
Aching behind knees at night. have a superficial varicose vein. could that be causing it? worried it may be pad, and i'm about to start oral bc.

See Vein Specialist.: It is very unlikely that you would have PAD at 25 years old. The varicose vein may be a source of your problem but because you have a vein does not mean that it is causing problems. See a vein specialist for a venous evaluation before starting OBC pills.
