If you have a leg worry this site has not covered, describe it. The questions here come from readers in Mokena and New Lenox Township, and a worry that is missing from the list is worth knowing about.

Describe the worry

Use the form on this page. Say what you have noticed, where on the leg, and what made you stop and wonder. Specifics make the difference between a vague concern and a question that can be answered.

Background to read before you write

If you want background before you write, these pages are a reasonable place to start. There is a guide to compression therapy types and benefits, a page on varicose vein symptoms, causes and treatment, a MedlinePlus entry on varicose and spider veins and a MedlinePlus encyclopedia article on venous insufficiency.
