Ive had a painless, soft lump on the back and top of my calf for a few months. I can only see it when Im standing. I thought maybe it was part of what appears to be a vericose vein developing. I dont feel anything out of the ordinary when I press on it. What could it be?
Hi. The lump which is at the back of calf area and seen only if you stand up is definitely a large varicose vein. Another possibility is herniation of the calf muscle. Confirmation can be made on clinical examination and by color Doppler examination.
