I've got this thing with my right carotid artery it's way bigger than the left one, like three or four times the size, and the other side's totally normal. When they first found it, one tech thought I needed emergency surgery, but then another doctor said it wasn't a big deal. Im 37, pretty healthy, and there's no family history of vascular issues. The only thing that bothers me is this ache I get when I'm exercising. Just wondering, is there something I should be worried about down the road?

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with these varicose wounds for the last three months, and they come with crazy itching and burning sensations. The Doppler scan showed mildly dilated long saphenous veins due to an incompetent sapheno-femoral junction and a few incompetent perforators. Luckily, there's no sign of deep venous thrombosis, but still, it sounds serious to me. She's taking medications like OCID DSR, Gabamax Gold, CALDOB, and Ecosprin. I'm just trying to understand how severe this condition is and how long it might take for her to fully recover. Are there any specific precautions or recommendations we should follow to help her heal faster? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I'm really worried about my mom. She had a TAH BSO surgery and about a week later, she started getting pain in her left leg. We got a Doppler test done, and it mentioned GSV varicosities. The hospital started her on blood thinner injections and she stayed there for four days before getting discharged. But she's still in a lot of pain and can't walk properly. Even when she elevates her leg while sleeping, sometimes the pain gets worse. She's on bed rest now. Can you offer any advice on how to help her manage this pain?
Your mother seems to be experiencing complications post TAH BSO surgery, specifically related to GSV varicosities in her left leg. It's good that she received blood thinner injections during her hospital stay. To help alleviate her current pain and discomfort, she can try using over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, she should continue to elevate her leg while resting, and apply cold compresses to the painful area. Compression stockings can also help improve blood flow in the legs and reduce pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."

I'm trying to figure out if what I'm experiencing is actually varicose veins before I look into any treatments. What are the symptoms I should be looking for, and is there an effective way to treat them if I do have varicose veins?
