Possible vericose veins?

[flyingsong37]

I tore my meniscus and went a while without knowing and caused some calf swelling. Dr noted varicosity behind my left knee. Did a ultra sound and everything came back normal, no signs of anything, on those results they mentioned varicosity in left leg. No follow up, treatment, or medication has been issued. Is this required to be disclosed? I'm not even sure it counts as a "official diagnosis"

No. I've had them since I was 12. I did report the surgery to have them removed after I started have blood clot issues in my later 30s early 40s.

OK, so here's what my ordeal was. Back in early 2017 I had a blood clot in my left leg. I had surgery to remove veins. They didn't get all of the veins. So for the next year and some change I had off and on prescriptions for Norco just so I could sleep at night because I was having sporadic edema issues. I'd get a scrip for 30 pills and that would last me a couple months. I'd take 3-4 a day for 3-4 days and then not taking any for another 4-6 weeks. July of 2018 I had one final procedure which got all of the stragglers (veins) and since then I had 0 issue. No more pain management...
