Hi, Dear thanks for the query to Chat Doctor virtual clinic. I studied your query in full details updated from you. I understood your health concerns. Based on your query data, In my opinion, Dear You seem to suffer from painful red lump in left leg (Mostly from Varicose Veins),mostly in lower leg. A week ago pain in the same leg behind fibula, was there(mostly from PID)Thus you may have 2 different health issues, as indicated from your query data. A Color Doppler study of the left leg veins, for the first lump and a CT spine for the second one, to rule out its relation with Slipped disc you had 8 yrs ago, needs to be done to find out the nature of these lumps. I would suggest second opinion from Surgeon and or tho Surgeon, for clinical evaluation of this case as the query gives scanty information, and from which I would suggest physical examination to confirm the nature of these lumps. Team of GP doctor and Surgeon/ and Ortho-Surgeon would be needed to treat your health issue. Hope this reply would help you to evaluate your case and treat it with your doctors in time to come. Hope this would resolve your query and worry and Anxiety accompanied by it. Welcome for any further query in this regard to ME. I would love to help you out.Awaiting any further query. Wish you fast recovery from this intriguing health problem. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.M.S. Genl-CVTS -Senior Surgical Consultant
