Pain In The Calf Muscle. Have Varicose Vein. Need Solution
I am having severe pain in my lower right leg down the shin bone area and radiating towards the calf. I generally work sitting but the other day was on my feet for nearly six solid hours. Heat helps some, ice makes it worse. I'm thinking maybe I should try some support hose. I do have a small patch of vericose vein in that area.
