Remedy For A Burning Sensation Near The Vein In The Lower Leg
4 days ago, the vein in my lower leg that goes up the outside of leg by knee joint turned into a hard cord. A few minutes later it popped and now is a monstrous bruise. There was no trauma to the area to cause this. Now, it is very hot to the touch and feels like it is burning.
