I was dx with bilateral Tarsal Tunnel in ankles & ill tell u the pain in rt ankle is so much worse when my veins are acting up!! So ya definitely the swelling from the v. Veins can make the PN pain worse. A Vascular surgeon who specializes in varicose veins is who u should see. They'll do a venous ultrasound, mine showed severe venous insuffiency inside midthigh. They run in my family too. I've been putting off the surgery, due to having so many other problems.
What kind of pn problem do u have?

Rhonda,
Thanks for your reply.
Well, my diagnosis is idiopathic PN. The varicose veins are in both legs, it seems symmetrical. It has been there since I was in my teens, but it never caused any pain. Since I started walking a couple of years ago, there was veins that developed in my shin, again in both legs. However, lately its only the right vein particularly in my shin that is bothersome.
Oh, i have other health issues too.
Mary
