I went to my primary doc a month ago and she said she didnt think i had varicose veins. My left leg ached some before i went. But for the past week my calfs been hurting everyday. I cant tell if my calfs swole or not. Its bigger than my right calf but my left is my dominant leg. Can varicose veins cause pain everyday?

varicose varicose veins can cause pain in the calves. I just developed them recently from a medication that I was taking. I'm not an expert but I have seen the vein specialist at a hospital. I had the Doppler exam done and he confirmed that I have varicose veins and venous reflux. I would definitely ask your doctor to recommend a vein specialist. they have exams that they can do with a check on the veins in your legs and let you know what's going on. you also want to make sure it's not a blood clot and the only way they can tell that is if they do a Doppler scan. also, I don't know if this group is still active judging by the lack of response to people's questions leads me to believe that this is an inactive group. there is a varicose vein group on Facebook. I joined a group and have gotten really good responses from my questions. it's a closed group so you don't have to worry about any of your friends or family seeing what you post. good luck and I hope your day gets better
