Can Varicose Veins Cause Knee Pain? Exploring the Connection – Elite Vascular
Yes, varicose veins can sometimes cause knee pain, especially if the veins near the knee are swollen or inflamed.

This can happen due to increased pressure in the veins, poor blood flow, or associated conditions like venous insufficiency.
