(Per Leg)
Leg veins
If you are suffering from pain, swelling and tenderness in one or both of your legs (usually your calf) or a heavy ache, warm skin or redness, particularly at the back of your leg, it may be a sign of a deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
The main danger is that the clot may break up and travel up to the lungs blocking blood flow and oxygenation. This can be life-threatening. An ultrasound scan of the legs may be needed.
