DVT and Varicose Postphlebitic Syndrome
I had DVT thrice (2005, 2007, 2013) and varicose veins. Radio Frequency Ablation was done in 2011. I have postphlebitic syndrome. I am wearing stockings . The skin on the outer side of my left calf is getting discolored (thre is a little swelling about 5 inches above my ankle) but there is just color difference. What is the best treatment for this?
