38f. I was diagnosed with venous insufficiency about 6 years ago. My symptoms were mild in the beginning but for the past year my left leg has been noticeably more swollen than the right leg. The swelling started out soft and squishy but now it’s firm. In the past 6 months I’ve had two ultrasounds and blood clots have been out ruled. My vascular doctor just says keep wearing the compression socks. They didn’t seem that concerned and told me to come back in 3 months. I’m afraid my left leg is going to be stuck like this forever and I feel too embarrassed to wear clothes that reveal my legs. I’m trying to exercise and lose weight but I can’t do too much exercise or the swelling and itching gets worse.
