Specializes in surgery

Vascular opinion: Duplex ultrasound update and likely venous insufficiency. Unlikely surgical - likely stockings but go find out.

See a phlebologist: Even after stripping (especially after stripping) veins can return and cause issues. See a phlebologist or vein specialist. Phlebology.Org for referrals. There are many new procedures done in office without downtime that can give you relief.
