Severe pain there and also in some parts of legs aboveand below the knee where the area has become green and while pressing the nerve it feels like damaged and in pieces.a also there's thickness in some places of the leg. Consulted many doctors and x-ray and scanning done. They said it's not varicose. Used many antibiotics but no improvement apart from side effects.
