Varicose veins, wrist pain 11573...India
A 45-year-old man with a family history of varicose veins was diagnosed with the condition 20 years ago in 2001. The veins were bluish, bulging, and painful, affecting both calves. He experienced heaviness, swelling and pain in both legs, especially after standing for an hour or more, although walking did not cause any discomfort.
For the past five years since Oct 2016, he also suffered from pain, swelling, and occasional stiffness in both wrists, which he linked to prolonged computer work. The symptoms worsened with use and improved with rest.
He believed his condition to be hereditary as his mother had the same problem. He took no medication and managed symptoms through lifestyle changes: high-fibre diet, regular walking, elevating legs and soaking in warm salt-water, frequently shifting weight from one leg to the other while standing, and finger exercises. However, pain and swelling continued. On 5 Sept 2021, he consulted the practitioner who gave him:
CC3.7 Circulation + CC4.2 Liver & Gallbladder tonic + CC13.1 Kidney & Bladder tonic + CC18.5 Neuralgia + CC20.3 Arthritis + CC20.7 Fractures…TDS
Treatment progress:
- 8 Sept 2021: Wrist condition 50% better, swelling in veins increased, possibly due to pullout.
- 14 Sept 2021: Wrist pain completely resolved.
- 23 Dec 2021: Varicose veins completely healed after steady improvement over past three months; dosage reduced to OD, gradually tapered down over three months to OW and maintained for over 18 months and stopped on 10 Sept 2023.
As of May 2025, patient continues to be well.
