How To Treat Lump On Calf?

Hi, for a few years I have had a non painful lumpy tissue about the size of a broad bean or possibly a bit bigger which is in the top of my calf muscle and seems to be buried behind other tissues, and it irritates occasionaly, but more recently I have noticed on the same leg what feels like lumpy veins which itch inside my leg (which is what drew my attention to it, and this is behind my knee joint and going up the back of my let for a couple of inches. I wondered if this would be varicose veins, although there is nothing to be seen. My mum suffered from these. How ever I am a bit worried if it could be anything worse as I have had Breast cancer 5 years ago. I am 49, thankyou.

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a varicose vein. I recommend using anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg three times a day. I also suggest regular exercise to encourage better blood circulation in the legs. Compression stockings may also be helpful in relieving the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,

Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
