Hello,
It is necessary performing some tests to investigate on the possible causes underlying your complaints:
- A doppler ultrasound of the leg arteries and veins in order to exclude chronic venous insufficiency.
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR and D-dimer plasma levels for possible inflammation or deep vein thrombosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
