Vein Ligation and Stripping Questions
Would laser treatment be a good option?
Vein Ligation and Stripping -1 answer
I had about 20 small veins stripped a yr after my 2nd pregnancy which alleviated aching in the back of my thigh. Then a year later my strafanous vein was stripped from the back of my knee to my ankle. Which alleviated pain in the back of my calf. I still have swelling and pain in my ankle with what looks like a bulging vein running under my ankle bone. I have to wear a compression sleeve constantly. I have the visible look of the swollen ankle but worse is the pain.

I'm in my 30's and developed varicose veins on both legs after giving birth. They were getting worse in short time and more veins appeared. My doctor told me that the best treatment for me is ligation and stripping. I'm wondering if I should consult a different specialist or just stick with him. I can't really afford changing doctors but I don't want to go through a difficult recovery if there is a less invasive option.

Hi there, I had the GSV on my left leg surgically removed from groin to ankle 10 days ago. Why do I have many new lumpy veins?
Vein Ligation and Stripping -2 answers
7 days after the procedure my leg is noticeably less swollen than before the operation and the skin is loose, however, 10 days post-op, I now have several bunches of large, hard ropey veins in my calf that I'm sure were not previously there. I don't know if this is where the GSV used to be and is part of the recovery or an emerging issue. I currently live in a foreign country, far away from more advanced medical technology and must carefully consider problems.
Thank you kindly for your help

Will the pain I'm experiencing post-vein stripping ever improve?
Vein Ligation and Stripping -5 answers
I had both legs stripped, with additional cuts two and a half weeks ago. I'm still experiencing shooting pain near my right shin when standing still and, to a lesser extent, when sitting down. Pain also occurs when when I stand after lying down for a while. The pain is quite severe, continuous and maddening. The only thing that relieves the pain is walking. Will it ever go away? Are there any things I can do, besides walking, to relieve the discomfort?
