Complications

  • Leg ulcers: A leg ulcer will usually occur near the inside of the ankle, but can be anywhere below the knee. Symptoms of this typically include a red, open, draining, non-healing wound in a swollen leg.

  • Venous insufficiency: Varicose veins can cause chronic venous insufficiency. They can be painful causing your legs to swell and feel fatigued.

  • Bleeding and Deep vein thrombosis: They can also bleed and contribute to blood clots. In some cases pulmonary embolism may develop after deep vein thrombosis.
