Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to varicose vein. The ultrasound can check for blood clots,which you have already done. Thus, you should not be worried. I suggest to continue using Furosemide 20 mg to relieve the swelling. I also suggest to use compression stocking and maintain the leg elevated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
