Can varicosities in posterior calf cause an ache?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,: It can. If you are aware of the pain discomfort for long time and the only clinical findings are the bulging veins, that most probably that what you have, pain from varicose veins and they can be easily treated today. See www.Gorenveincenter.Com if however the pain is recent and you may also see swelling of calf /ankle go see a doctor now, just to make sure you do not have a blood clot.
