Islam Elwan: Not Every Swollen or Painful Leg Is ‘Just Varicose Veins’
Islam Elwan, Physiotherapist at Ministry of Health Hospitals, Egypt, shared on LinkedIn:
”Not every swollen or painful leg is ‘just varicose veins.’
Distinguishing between superficial venous insufficiency and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is critical.
As healthcare professionals, timely assessment and proper referral can prevent life-threatening complications such as pulmonary embolism.
Stay vigilant. Assess wisely. Act early.”
