What Does My Ultrasound Scan Report Indicate?

I tore my leg open and need almost 90 stitches to put the skin back, this was over 1-1/2 years ago. I have been in Nuna boots, compression stockings, tested by a cardiologist, and following the doctors orders. Now, they did a ultrasound on my leg and I have to go in for a surgical appointment to discuss a vascular surgery on my leg. This happened at work and a workmens comp claim. I had to pay for the cardiologist out of my pocket. I want to get my leg to heal, but I am worried that this surgery could cause issues in the future. Should I look for a specialist, and if so can you tell me wear to find one? Thank you, Tim

I WILL SUGGEST IF YOUR LEG IS FINE AND PINKISH COLOR IS THER IN YOUR TOES THEN CONTINUE WITH COMPRESSION STOCKINGS. LEG SWELLING WILL SUBSIDE IN SOME YEARS. HOWEVER IF YOUR LEG IS PAINFUL AND PAIN IS UNBEARABLE GO FOR SURGERY. GOOD LUCK.
