Can chronic venous insufficiency (fluid retention in lower legs) be reversed?
Having sat at a desk for the last 30 years, I recently discovered that I have fluid retention in my lower legs. Seems it is called chronic venous insufficiency. I wear support hose which helps. Also, on days I exercise, it is not a problem. But my question is whether this sort of vein problem can heal itself, or whether the damage that’s been done is irreversible. I am 60, not much overweight, and work out or play tennis several times per week.
