My doctors (ortho & vascular) are dismissing my varicose vein pain as arthritis. I have always had varicose vein problems in my left leg only. My right leg is what I fractured last January (2019). My right leg was always my "good" leg, as the varicose veins were always negligible up until three or four months ago. With all the down time and a lot less exercise, both legs have taken a turn for the worse, which needless to say is very depressing. Now throw in that my doctors just want to attribute my pain to arthritis, when I know that my veins are the main problem. An y body know of any good pain clinics in Connecticut?

    I had a trimalleolar fracture in Februrary 2019. I 'm getting around and feeling better everyday. It's been a long road. I had varicose veins in my right leg the fracture was my left leg. I had the varicose veins removed by a vascular surgeon. It was quick and easy with minimal recovery time. I highly recommend having this done.
