Hi, just wondered if anyone else has the same problem so long after vein stripping surgery? Under one of the main stab points on the inside of my leg under the knee, I have quite a big lump of what I assume is scar tissue. It's really obvious to look at, and is painful, esp if knocked.........TIA

    You really need to have an ultrasound to look at the area. Why did you have a stripping in 2014?

      I had a minor op quite low down on my shin in 2003, which left quite a dint in my leg. I was advised at the time it could cause circulation problems in the future. 3 pregnancies in 4 years proved that right and several veins collapsed unfortunately
