Are Extra Varicose Veins A Usual Side Effect To A Knee Replacement?
No, they are not a usual side effect, and in all my years nursing have never heard of it. I would check with your doctor about the varicose veins, it is probably just a coincidence that they appeared about the same time as you had some surgery.
Trauma, including surgery, can cause varicose veins. When I injured my knee I developed some at the site of the injury.
What’s an “extra” varicose vein? I’m serious. I don’t have any… I thought you developed them or not… due to pregnancy or just time.
I’ll be interested in the answers here.
No, not that I know of.
