How Can Pain After Vein Surgery Be Treated?

Yes, I had RVF vein surgery like 3 months ago and now I am having pain on the outside of my knee and all the way up to the top of my knee. It is like a vein hurting. Extreme pain but not constant. I can be walking and all of a sudden pain that makes me almost fall. I can't really lift my leg either

Hi, I dont think the pain you describe is because of vein problem. It could be something else like a muscle pull or a nerve compression. There are almost no veins in that area to cause such symptoms. You should consult your Doctor to rule out knee joint problems and nerve pain. Do let me know if I can help you further. But an XRay of the knee should be done to begin with. Take care,
