A member asked:
I need a statement noting persistent edema in my leg due to my varicose veins. would this be possible (i have proof of condition (prior surgeries)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Edema and VV's.: You need to see a vein specialist for a full venous evaluation including a venous ultrasound. This should determine if the leg swelling is due to your varicose veins or if there is potentially another cause.
