Perforator vein refers to the vein that goes through the muscle and joins the vein in the leg. The perforator vein pain is when the blood flows against the direction it is supposed to go because the vein valve is faulty (the varicose vein). treatment results are relatively fast. there is discomfort for the first few days, but the doctor will tell patients to wear their support hose/socks and to walk after a few hours. They want you to walk. Once the vein is sealed, it starts to get reabsorbed. The damage can be just a hereditary issue, orbrought on by lifestyle, but it can often be caused by an injury. Cyclists can get it when they jam a calf into a pedal, and contact sports participants can get it when they suffer contact injuries.

Aspirin is a dangerous drug. If it was offered today, under current standards, it would be kept behind the counter. The blood thinning properties can cause serious problems for some people. Problems like ulcers in the stomach and brain bleeds in older patients. look at the older people who are on low dose aspirin. They are covered in bruises. It's a combination of thinning skin, loss of skin thickness and the blood thinning property of aspirin.

I had the same symptoms with the addition of my legs falling asleep when walking. MRI revealed I had severe spinal stenosis at L3,4, and 5. Six weeks ago I had decompressive laminectomy spine surgery and my symptoms are totally gone and I’m back to walking 3 miles a day. My suggestion if it continues get an MRII

Whilst asprin has some bad properties it has also saved many lives preventing blood clots and strokes. One should always consult their Doctor before taking it on a regular basis.

This is very helpful, thanks. I never have had any circulatory or cardiac issues. (There's always a first time, eh.)

Yes, the pain is more severe on foot flexion. I will make both GP and u/s tech aware of the possibility of perforative vein as well as DVT.

After sclerotherapy, is it possible to function normally right away?

Great info!

I don't think I've ever experienced a sprain. But I would expect muscle strain or the like to show immediate pain. This was just walking in a mall and got worse and worse.

When I was recently at a beach, I thought how unnatural it is for city people. We are always walking on flat surfaces. Even when we go to a park, we walk on the path. Our floors are flat. There's no natural movement for the foot, ankle, leg muscles.

Worsening pain on flexion of the foot, while not in itself diagnostic, is consisent with a DVT.

Aspirin is not an effevtive treatment and will not help dissolve the clot if you have one. It does have some utility in prevention of future clots...but also carries a risk of GI bleeding.

Yoh should not wait for the 26th.

You will need an ultrasound. If it were me I'd just go to ER (A&E). Today. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks, Sheryl. PE would be a drag and much harder to treat. Journal articles have indicated low-dose aspirin has had some success with clots. I'm sure I can get a U/S same day.

I have not done Homan's test yet but intend to.

That was true of my Mum, though I would noy go so far as to call aspiring a dangerous drug. There are side effects to everything, including carrots.

I intend to combat potential GI bleeds by always taking aspirin with food.

Where in Thailand are you?

If you go to ER should get U/S then and there. Blood test (d-dimer) and u/s being essential to ruling out DVT.

PE is much more than a drag itcan be immediatly fatal.

Aspirin does not dissolve clots. It can help prevent new ones thtough platlet inhibition.
